I don't think the general consensus is that intelligence organizations have better developers than big tech. I think the rule of thumb is the better the pay, the better the quality.
- vmception 6y agoThere is a pervasive view that they have scifi technology that someone had to program I think after various leaks that idea did evaporate a lot
- kodoque2 6y agoFrankly the ANT catalog had some amazing stuff, but I think all the really cool tools are developed bespoke at small boutique company.
- vmception 6y agodefense contractors recruit the same way as intelligence does
- alisonkisk 6y agoBecause they had infinite budget, not a few high paid geniuses.
- joncrane 6y agoI'm pretty sure intelligence agencies often have a better effort:pay ratio. This is due to the high barrier to entry of needing a TS (or even higher) clearance.
