Did you sign a 20 page non disclosure and IP assignment agreement when you started at your employer? If I were the mods I’d be worried about a big tech co finding out an employee contributed to engineering or coding on this site because the bastards might sue and claim ownership.

Yep. And big tech companies love crushing potential competitors. The social media companies in particular.

You could contribute anonymously. I'm guessing your employer doesn't know you as BigDogsEat :)

I'm guessing he's smart enough not to do that!

Doesn't the IP agreement usually only apply to anything you wrote on their hardware/software/company time? Pretty sure a company is not legally allowed to own all the work you do ever just because they employ you. If that is the agreement you signed, then you're getting fucked and should get out ASAP.
