My Take On Joel's Article "Developer's Side Projects"
So, recently I came across this article titled "Developer's Side Projects" by Joel. Chris Hawkes, a buddy of mine, has recorded a video and he asked me what was my take on this article.
So, before anything else, I got pissed off. I got pissed off because I can't stand seeing people talk like that. In the article, Joel discusses side projects and how it relates to software developers, whether it is a good practice or not.
Here are just a few pieces from the article that really pissed me off:
"Most developers think that the work they do at work belongs to their employer, but anything they work on at home or on their own time is theirs. This is wrong enough to be dangerous."
"Every software company is going to want to own the copyright to the code that its employees write for them, so no software company can accept the "default" way the law works. That is why all software companies that are well-managed will require all developers, at the very least, to sign an agreement that says, at the very least, that..."
Anyway, if you really want to know my opinion on this, watch the entire video. I'm pretty sure you'll agree with me.
