  2. I've often joked that the root of my #Trans self is using a #BBCMicro as a kid and coming into contact with the work of #SophieWilson.

    I've just realized that the social contagion nonsense fits this perfectly, because with the rise of #ARM processors loads more people are coming into contact with her work at a formative age.

    Im #PrideMonth stellen wir queere Personen vor, die die #Informatik geprägt haben. Heute: #SophieWilson.

    💡Schon gewusst, dass ...

    .. sie gemeinsam mit Furber auch den besonders effizienten ARM RISCProzessor erdachte?

    ... rund 95 Prozent aller Smartphones weltweit mit Prozessoren ausgestattet sind, die auf die ihre Entwicklungen zurückgehen?

    Yup! Pretty prescient! Who knew back then that #SophieWilson and #SteveFurber would reach way out to now and the #M2 Macbook Pro currently winging its way to me now?
