A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

If you're automating workflows, you don't get to take your current employers code with you when you leave.
Are you supposed to just be writing random automations for things that might exist somewhere? Why would anyone think that's impressive?

Either you're showing me something useless you did for no reason, or you're asking if I want to see some stolen IP. Neither of these is giving me a particularly good impression.

Much more impressive to have genuine, real contributions to open aource projects.. Not those garbage "I fixed 10000 typos in readmes which were actually just word choices and 250 of them got pushed so pls hire me"
