I don't have any problem contributing to 3rd party open source projects at work time for e.g. fixing a bug, but how do you deal with your OWN open source? Let's say you have a small library you made personally, then use it at work, then find a bug during work hours. If I contribute during those work hours, I think that'd be on the gray zone.

Has anyone negotiated this during an interview? How do you do it?

I can already imagine these comments will be screenshot and mocked at by the React Router/Remix author in Twitter :)

Google by not answering is giving a clear message: if you test positive, even if you are then cleared out of all wrongdoings, you are going to be banned for life. So better be extra careful and don't even take children's pictures, even if your own or in perfectly valid scenarios.

"If you're reading this as an engineer (but this may apply to many fields), or as someone looking to grow an engineer, the most important thing you can do is identify current issues and weaknesses."

I learned a very different things, but thank you nonetheless: there are companies that care about these things! I just got a full-time job that is basically like this, a hell on Earth (I've been freelancing before). So the lesson I learned is, I should be looking for a new job :)

My coworker (we are 2 in the team) is already jumping ship even when he joined later than me.
