Have you ever created something unplanned at your work that your company took on, or that you left to pursue? I’m curious how often this ever actually happens

Not yet but I often fantasize about this and getting a patent and then just leaving work forever lol. I'm not doing much to push this fantasy along, but maybe one day I'll get my act together and make someting incredible

fair warning. patents are only good as long as you can defend them in court. otherwise it's a worthless thing. design away anyway

Be very careful. Most company have policies that they own the rights to everything you develop on site with work resources.

So even if you get a hint of an idea, do not talk about it at work.

So squirrels decided to eat my engine harness (thanks Honda for your eco friendly wiring).
I got it fixed but the acceleration still feels sluggish even when slamming the acceleration on sport mode. It’s a 2017 Honda Civic turbo and used to have a pretty fun acceleration. Any ideas what could be the culprit or where to look? Things like bad ECU/ messed up turbo/ air leak?
