The National Security Agency | Open Source & The Ghidra decompiler projectThis year while at OSCON my cellphone battery died. Luckily, there was a cell phone charging station in the National Security Agency's booth. While I was waiting for my battery to charge, I had time to interview Jacob & Emily from the agency's community team, as well as, a software developer from the open-source decompiler project Ghidra. While most of what the NSA does is top secret, they actually have 40 open-source projects and an active community team and public education programs. And in addition to software development, we talked about career paths in technology, learning new skills and shared our tech origin stories.
