Certainly there's one monk here who found out the hard way that an agreement with one's employer can have a real impact on how you're supposed to behave. From a technology point of view, I agree with you -- seeing someone else's script that does input validation then puts data into a database, or takes stuff out and displays it, is all pretty boring. From a legal or ethical point of view, things change. That's the part that carries more weight in this situation -- is it ethical for me to show off some of my current employer's code if I'm under an NDA? I'm pretty certain the answer is, "No, I'm not allowed to do that". One solution is to write some code that you own alone, maybe even samples that have been posted on this site. My local example is something I really did write myself and shows that at one time I was able to wrap my brain around writing some Object Oriented Perl -- albeit just a single module. I am currently working on something that's a bit more complicated, but it's not done yet.
Perhaps with the previous employer's blessing that would be OK -- or possibly for some code that's way out of date -- like some C code I Alex / talexb / Toronto "Groklaw is the open-source mentality applied to legal research" ~ Linus Torvalds Update: Fixed typo.
