Generally they do. When you bought your stock, they must have come with a document outlining what are your rights within that company. Best try to find it and see what it says.

In practice, some comply to the rules and some others don't.

Shameless plug: I wrote an article exactly for people like you https://medium.com/@lolski/career-tips-for-young-software-en...

Congrats on starting your first job!

you spoke on our behalf

Flipcode! The good old days of me trying to render a BSP map. There's a tutorial about it there which I tried to follow. Obviously it didn't work out.

Shortly after it was closed down.

Oh the original Rainbow Six on PC was really really hard

It was! I wonder if I'd like something like it now or if it's just nostalgia.

Photoshop Friday was kinda hit or miss, for for the funny ones they were really funny

And animelayer.com. I stumbled upon the small site and while I was not a big anime guy, the people there were good fun

And obviously maddox.xmission.com

It's still there and being updated

I'm not still 14, sadly, so he isn't really that funny to me now. I'd rather not spoil my good memories :)

Fair enough :)

Good times. I frequent box.sk for hacker type info too.

I remember it!

Completely unrelated but somethingaweful.com was really hilarious back then. back when meme wasn't a thing.

Back when memes were just called "image macros". Something Awful is still going but there is nothing remotely funny or new there.

SA goons are also still hard at work. Fark, too.

Unrelated to your comment here but a while back you mentioned you liked some Space Cadet keycaps I had, but they are usually only available via a group buy. There's another one going on right now for a set that looks the same but comes in a different key profile: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=105375.0
