Securing our Community

Joining the kickoff of an event for high school students from central Ohio to organize and to develop apps, Curtin highlights that development is far more than writing code.

The effect of writing code and having others use the systems we build is making, enabling others to do things they couldn't before. Open source coding is sharing, showing not only result but method for addressing problems. It's freedom, empowering individuals—if developers have the courage to resist building tools for tyrants.
