Dane got his project shutdown hard

Dane wanted to pass along that sometimes even when you stick to your own personal hardware and time, even when you buy new hardware just for the project - some employer highering contracts state the company owns all the code you produce. Free time or not. 

> Some, many rather, enterprise level companies state that they own all of the code you write while you're a salaried employee regardless of the time of day or hardware used. You can talk with someone at these companies or file a request for a specific project to be excluded from the employer's reach, but it's a conversation and they could say no.

I was bitten by this and had to stop my project. These days every side project is a public repository from the beginning. While employers could still make claims, but I have goodwill on my side. They can fork the repo and they'd look bad if they ask me to make it private or delete it.
