I'd like to point out two aspects to this outside of workhours vs online profile/portfolio of work. Sometimes you can contribute to online tools during work hours. I've collaborated with Python folks to fix bugs or upgrade to new frameworks, or to Python 3, things that my work and libraries depended on. This was on the company's dime because I needed to get things done and didn't consider them ultimate obstacles. These are one off a few days investment sort of tasks, nothing super long term, but it's worth mentioning these are not mutually exclusive efforts. Another detraction to working at home on side projects right now is just physical. I need to really take a break from the monitors to keep my eye strain budget reserved for work when I need it.
