Thanks for the tip. I ended up consulting a friend of mine (an attorney specialising in company law and ipr) yesterday and it turns out what I'm doing is perfectly legal and foolproof. So all's well.

So I guess it works in my favor because I own the git repo. There's always something, isn't it. I can change my git timestamps and the employer can change its server log timestamps if there's maleficence at either side. That&

FWIW, I just found out that shower clauses are unenforceable (at most places) if it did not occur in paid time notwithstanding the fact whether you signed such a contract or not. There has to be a payment in lieu of your services otherwise

I’d like to differ. The foundation of my strategy is that I shouldn’t be obligated to run every code I write with my company legal. On the contrary, the simple reason that my code is generic absolves me from having to consult my company for

Oh it's not like I am trying to steal its IP from my company. I don't do that shit for everything I do. But only for the ideations that I know are great and think I am going to use later. In that regard, programming can be easily

Ohh yes.. These contracts are always maximalist. That's why I never touch areas where my company can even remotely claim involvement. But these are extremely important points that must be always keep in mind by everyone who wants to co

Actually that's why I release the code on Apache/MIT combo. This way, I get to keep my code open source without forcing my company to release the modified code. Also there are no patent related issues as Apache handles that beauti

yeah... somebody needs to always make sure not to be the bigger fool... 1) Git commits have timestamps. 2) Proving I did on company laptop is their onus. Innocent until proven guilty. ;-P 3) I do that. Along with randomisation of sample dat

This thing has been bugging me the first time signed an employment contract years ago. So from what I understand is that everything I do on conpany property (that includes coding in a pub but on the company laptop) belongs to the company. S
