Just getting started? Ensure you maintain ownership of your side projects.

I wrote this in response to Joel's 'Developers' Side Projects' [https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2016/12/09/developers-side-projects/]. Basically Joel's advice didn't map to my own experience so I felt like writing about that experience. It's not a rebuttle of his post, more of an addition. I'd be happy to discuss here, on HN or in the post itself.
Cheers.
Good writeup! I haven't worked for a company as anything other than a contractor, so I don't have personal experience in this area, but a ton of the founders I've interviewed were working jobs on the side, so knowing how this all works is pretty crucial information
