My concern is whether it's safe to work on my company's computer while at home. I work for a San Francisco start-up. Will they claim ownership over the work I've been doing outside of work just because it's on their computer? It doesn't conflict in business area in the least, but I'd rather go buy a separate computer if there's a serious concern about claims of ownership or potential for getting sued.
Is it okay, for example, to take an idea aimed at developers and build something almost identical, but selling to designers? If it's pretty obvious the author of the original idea plans to expand in that direction, am I crossing the line by jumping ahead and trying to get there first?
For anyone who is running a team (or has), what have you done to keep talent?
For everyone else, what entices you to leave and what can be done to keep you on board?
