Technically I don't work currently, so I'm not sure if this is a side project.
I was the founding engineer and Head of Eng at Reforge the past 4+ years while I was building Closing Credits. I left in August 2021. So, it was a side project for nearly 5 years.
If I have 3 side projects and no full time job at this exact moment, where do I stand? I'll delete my post if I'm violating the side project rule.
- erosenbe0 5y agoI think you're being accurate but maybe also quote the numbers from August when you still had a full-time gig.
- friendly_chap 5y agoDid you not sign away the IP while you were there? If so by this comment you implicate yourself.
- buf 5y ago+1 That's a great point to make for people who are building side projects. Make sure you list your side projects in an exception in the IP clauses of your employment contract, like I did.
- ethbr0 5y agoOut of curiousity, what does that typically look like? Named project + brief description + market it's in? Have you ever had any pushback from legal? Presumably to the effect of "What if you take our IP and put it into that project?"
