Should I post my code on github from a previous place of work?

Question

GitHub

In what actually a subject. I am planning to change jobs. For a more efficient search, it is advised to attach a link to the git to the resume. I have a git profile, but due to the workload at my main job, the last work was posted quite a long time ago and the projects there are purely educational in nature. Does it make sense to upload codes written at the current place of work to git? This is not about entire projects, but about some modules, components, etc. How would a future employer look at this? On the one hand, this will demonstrate my knowledge and skills, on the other, but it may be asked: can I do the same, being (in case of successful employment) his employee?

Answer 1

How would a future employer look at this?

So, to immediately forget about you. Otherwise, his own developments will then also be in the public.
It's better not to do this.

Answer 2

A simple rule - if the code is User Facing, then there should be no problems. You can make the turnip private and add the employer as a contributor, explaining in advance that there is no business logic (valid) and this is a common practice in the community.

Answer 3

I don't think it's really worth it.
It's like "should I upload the customer base I've cold-called at company #1 so company #2 can see what a good salesperson I am?"

Answer 4

If the previous employer officially allows you to post code containing a "purely educational character", then yes.
Otherwise, a fine may be awarded, according to the contract.
