Ever heard about software devs not being able to work on personal projects because all the code they produce, even off the clock is owned by their employer?
Hasn’t been true for my past two jobs at least (US based), what I do outside of company premises / my own hardware and my own time is mine. They only own what was done on company’s dime. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but that’s not my experience so far, and I’m not sure if would be legal.

No, what a ultracapitalist dystopian scenario.
Sadly, it’s not uncommon from what I understand.
