I’m a decent developer. I’ve shipped code, led projects, and worked at scale. My employer owns everything I code. I’m not supposed to, legally, even write code during an interview if I’m looking for another job as they own it. I can contribute or create open source but everything must be approved by my org first. For many, that hurdle alone is too big to justify working on open source. I got a talking to for contribution to documentation on a Go project out of Facebook without proper paperwork being done and “exposing risk to my employer.”
