      I don’t really code in my free time, every merge request for a FOSS project I wanted to do so far was for company projects where a feature was missing or buggy. My GitHub and Gitlab accounts are full of outdated forks we needed for a minor change in the FOSS project which I was not allowed to merge upstream

        I had that situation for several years. I skipped to a pro-opensource organization, and have never looked back. The coolest part is I have commits accepted to some big name projects now, which I figure is part of why nobody asks me to write fizz-buzz in an interview anymore.

      Not submitting the pull request until off work hours (maybe a hour or two after the shift whistle blows) would also be a good story to show the court.
