And if I was your boss and found out you would be looking for another job. Do you think you are the only one who should benefit from your innovative idea.
I loathe developers who guard their code, I often see it in junior developers especially if they are working on new tech.

It would be a pleasant world if there were a positive correlation between intelligence and one's authority in an organization; sadly, the opposite prevails, which forces all participants to join the battle using any means at their disposal. This is war. I didn't make the rules; rather, they were imposed.

Does this mean you have not bought in at all to the product you are building or the organisation you work in? If you said "spend the remainder of the time contributing in some useful way to what is going on" that may also include research and will also benefit you. It is just a more constructive way of looking at the same set of circumstances.

While you are at work being paid the employer has some control. You can still maintain your self respect. If you want more control become an independent contractor. That is the road many here have taken. It may be the acid test of how brilliant you are.

Conveniently, those who possess the requisite level intelligence to proffer a similar or superior productivity enhancement would also be worldly wise and therefore loathe to divulge their ideas.
you write "Does this mean [that] you have not bought in at all to the product you are building...".
Rest assured that your hard work is unlikely to earn you tenure nor improve your compensation. You have no equity in the asset that you have created. And that asset will continue to generate revenue for your employer long after you've left the company. This arrangement is rather unfair, I would think, so please tell me, why would you be motivated to divulge any ideas whatsoever.

You appear to be extremely narcissistic. That makes you not a good follower but neither will you be a good leader. If you have the courage then go out on your own and test yourself in the crucible of life. This may either confirm your brilliance or sear your ego.

And if you work for an enlightened company (maybe Google?) you are actually given 10% or so of your time to work on whatever interests you, because an enlightened company will realize the benefit of giving employees time to learn new tech, explore other ideas, etc.
Still, it's little more than corporate slavery, since you really don't benefit from the actual profit the company makes off your work beyond a paycheck. (There, I just had to go an ruin an otherwise positive post, didn't I?)

Sometime over the weekend, Verizon added and turned on a new feature on my phone called "advanced calling".
I don't like it.
(and yes, I've already turned it off).

Weelllll, what is Advanced Calling???
If it's not broken, fix it until it is
|

Just watch that they don't charge you extra for advanced calling exception services.

it looks to be "advanced features" for HDef voice and video mail.
I'd rather be phishing!

It gives you "HD" calling, which changes the way it sounds. I didn't like the change.

What, no intermediate calling option?

Don't tell me, they've implemented tail call optimisations?

Oi Griff! Hobbits are Shire fantasy.

I think you Took me too seriously: If you Burrows into the literature you find this is only a Gamgee, and anyway Hobbits are only a Proud Foot wide so they are easy to miss!

Some are several Proud Feet wide... or should that be Proud Foots?

This has The Ring of truth to it - but it's not that exciting.
Mithril is from weirder events. For example, the other day I was Shire I Saruman barefoot, with hairy toes.
