Sometimes that behavior arises because the person is bored, or they feel their skills aren't being utilized, or they feel like their concerns about an existing system are being minimized.
- djsumdog 10y agoYea, those people need to learn to work on their own stuff. I do so much of my own/oss work at work and am surprised at how everyone has always said I'm doing great and my stuff is always out faster and more tested than everyone else. ..expectations are low, and there's value in keeping it that way! :) (all my favoruite stuff has been stuff I've worked on for myself, that doesn't earn any money. I find almost all of it more worthwhile than any of the technical entrenched garbage I've written in the corporate world for the past decade of my life)
- slig 10y agoI hope you realize that working on your own stuff at work can get you in trouble.

While your company may seem like they don't care now, that can always change. Copyrights last a long time. Please don't risk the well-being of an open-source project by surreptitiously submitting code that your company owns.
- bitL 10y agoEverybody should have an anonymous shell corp in Caribbean and release spare time work via those...
- cookiecaper 10y agoSeriously not a bad idea.
