Most people don’t know this… but in 1985, a woman named Radia Perlman quietly solved a problem that could’ve crashed early computer networks.
The internet wasn’t public yet, but the building blocks were being laid and her invention, the Spanning Tree Protocol, made it possible for networks to grow safely without collapsing.
She didn’t just fix one problem. She helped invent the reliable, scalable internet we use today.
AND she did it in a weekend.🤯
