Gregg Pollack is founder of Code School, an online learning destination for developers that teaches through entertaining content. The latest learn-to-code movement has brought on a wave of interest in programming across the board—from kids to working professionals.

US government officials have revealed to CNN that they’re operating under the assumption that a new whistleblower has started leaking national security documents, following in the footsteps of Edward Snowden.
