Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: Liskov

This week on the show, Mike and Erik discuss the work of Barbara Liskov. Their discussion includes a tour through types, concurrency, and distributed systems. Liskov has had an incredible career spanning 6 decades and contributed ideas that are foundational to work we do as day-to-day software dev‮…

Women who should have won: The Turing Award

The Turing Award is generally regarded as the highest honor in computer science. In more than 50 years, only three women have won: Frances Allen, Barbara Liskov, and Shafi Goldwasser, but plenty of brilliant women computer scientists were overlooked: U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper was a trail‮…

Barbara Liskov – Pioneer of Programming Language Design

This episode explores the life and impact of Barbara Liskov, a foundational figure in computer science who transformed how software is designed and understood. Born in 1939, she overcame gender barriers to become one of the first women in the United States to earn a Ph.D. in computer science. Lis‮…

Turing Award Winner: Data Abstraction, Dijkstra, Distributed Systems | Barbara Liskov

Barbara Liskov is a Turing Award winner known for her work in programming languages and distributed systems. We discussed the major problems she solved in her career, stories about Dijkstra, getting rejected from Princeton because she was a woman and misc topics around her work. 🔸 My keyboard Kic‮…

Before Blockchains, There Was State Machine Replication (ft. Barbara Liskov and Tim Roughgarden)

Every blockchain today leans on replication ideas worked out in the 1980s, by a Turing Award winner who wasn’t thinking about how it might apply to money at all.  In this episode of First Principles, a16z crypto Head of Research and Columbia professor Tim Roughgarden speaks with Barbara Liskov, M‮…

How Bitcoin Rewired a Classic Computer Science Problem (ft. Tim Roughgarden and Ittai Abraham)

Bitcoin often gets credited with inventing trustless consensus. It didn’t.  The problem was named decades earlier — in the world of distributed computing — and researchers spent years studying how machines could reach agreement even when some participants were faulty, adversarial, or corrupt. Wha‮…

Before Blockchains, There Was State Machine Replication

Every blockchain today relies on replication techniques first developed in the 1980s by researchers who weren't thinking about cryptocurrencies at all. In this episode, Tim Roughgarden speaks with MIT professor and Turing Award winner Barbara Liskov, one of the pioneers of programming languages, ‮…
