Reading up on Lynn Conway, this woman is unbelievable.
Specifically, she (in order):
1. Worked at IBM and invented superscaler CPU architecture (ie, the thing that intel lives by for modern performance)
2. Transitioned and started over in 1968, when it was stealth or death
3. Joined Xerox PARC, where she invented VLSI and modern silicon design
Modern chips exist because of her.
