    It’s depressing to be wasted pointless effort in a bureaucratic corporate nightmare.

    And depending on the details of your employment, if you code for fun, on your own time, at home, using your own equipment, the company still owns it.

      Weird coincidence, all my hobby code I’ve ever done at home is “drop database” and corrupt system files scripts. If they want them they can have them. 😈

      I don’t get how anyone could EVER enforce a law or agreement or rule that says something I wrote at home on my device on my time is theirs. Don’t touch my files with your gross corporate fingers! Ahhh!

        Check your employment terms. I’d wager the first step of that is seeing if you have a paper copy. I know I don’t for all the places I’ve worked or acquisitions I’ve been through.

        Something like an ALCU or Second Amendment Foundation that focused on nothing but that would be a nice-to-have. I think it overall destroys creativity in the industry.
