We have this information but it's usually pamphlets, not a contract you sign. I haven't ever signed a contract for a job. I've signed things, yeah, like NDAs and stuff or an offer letter, but that's it.

Usually it's an NDA or something.
Someone talked about how his company was willing to give someone a six month sabbatical to keep this other dude around but the guy didn't take it. I was like that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, just take it and then leave when it's over or whatever. And the person telling me this explained how he wasn't like that and wouldn't take advantage of the company. It just felt really weird. I don't experience true jealousy often but this was one of the times I have. Companies have never treated me well like that. The idea that people would just act like a 6 month sabbatical is something normal is fucking insane. I even told him that's crazy and I heard of and he said no, it's something a lot of places do. It's such an insanely privileged take to talk about it so casually.
Lol, it'd be nice if they gave you one to read, but that's generally not the case.
Use Codium instead of VS Code. VS Code is fauxpen source.
Just like "real" CEOs have to answer to shareholders.
My honest take, it's a bubble. Everyone sees the (seemingly) impressive things people do with AI and ask "why can't you do that?"
You can with some caveats. It has to be stuff like configs or a project you intend to make FOSS later.
I've never had a job check my GitHub, but I could give Codeberg too.
Especially when Microsoft said for employees AI is no longer optional.
I know, but I'm talking about someone being offered a sixonth paid sabbatical.
