I recently answered a question with a proposition that the asker should improve his resistant-to-change boss's legacy system by coding the alternative in his spare time and then presenting it as an alternative approach to his peers.
我最近回答了一个问题,即提问者应该通过在业余时间编写替代方案,然后将其作为替代方法提交给他的同行来提高他对抗变革老板的遗留系统。
It got me thinking about all the unpaid development work I have done in my working life. Although I know it is our character to work late, in darkened rooms, eating pizza and slouching in front of a couple of monitors when do you shutdown and go home?
这让我想到了我在工作生涯中所做的所有无偿开发工作。虽然我知道我们的角色是工作到很晚,在黑暗的房间里,在几台显示器前吃披萨和懒散,你何时关机并回家?

As one of the comments on that question said, why not put that time into a project of your own? The real answer is an indicated of how much you have "signed up" to the project. I give two examples
正如关于该问题的评论之一所说,为什么不将这段时间投入到自己的项目中呢?真正的答案表明你已经“注册”了多少项目。我举两个例子
1) A brilliant project where we did 6 impossible things before breakfast. The PM managed to get us all (and I mean everyone) to work an all nighter, then do a long day, then home and restart at 4.00AM in time for a 12:00 demo. The things is we loved it, and reaped the rewards later.
1)一个精彩的项目,我们在早餐前做了6件不可能的事。 PM设法让我们所有人(我的意思是每个人)全都工作,然后做一整天,然后回家并在早上4点重新启动以进行12:00演示。事情是我们喜欢它,并在以后获得奖励。
2) A desperate mess going nowhere, demoralised team, a clear mandate to fail from senior management. At that stage what can you do, long lunches, google, and CV work. No work on out of hours time at all.
2)绝望的混乱无处可去,士气低落的团队,明确要求高级管理层失败。在那个阶段你可以做什么,长午餐,谷歌和简历工作。根本没有时间工作。
It all depends on the project.
这一切都取决于项目。

I have the luxury (burden?) of working from home so I end up doing quite a bit more work than I would were I in the office. With the laptop already set up and connected to the VPN, it's entirely too difficult for me to resist the temptation to "just pound this out". I'd say I probably average a few (less than 10) hours a week of "unpaid" work. BUT, I will only work "unpaid" if what I'm doing is at my own direction or to help fill a gap in my knowledge that is relevant to the current project.
我有在家工作的奢侈(负担?)所以我最终做的工作比我在办公室做的工作多得多。由于笔记本电脑已经安装并连接到VPN,因此我很难抵制“只是砸出这个”的诱惑。我说我可能平均每周工作一小时(不到10小时)的“无薪”工作。但是,如果我正在做的是按照自己的方向或者帮助填补我当前项目相关知识的空白,我只会“无偿”工作。
The little "oh, I should try it this way" moments would qualify for "unpaid" time as would the "now, how the fsck do I do that?" problems.
小小的“哦,我应该这样尝试”的时刻将有资格获得“无偿”时间,就像“现在,我是如何做到这一点的fsck?”问题。
