writing code that will not be used at all is utterly frustrating and akin to creating garbage.

@hyeyoo weird, I'd expect their goal to have something useful from you, not something declared throwaway upfront.

@vbabka It's not declared thrown away - but no one in the company needs my work, and there is no specific task nor requirement. And I can decide what to do.

So I asked if I'm allowed to contribute my work to upstream community and I was told "No, it's our company's property"

I'm not sure why they even hired (even if it's intern) me.

@vbabka thanks :) but at the same time, on bright side, I have free time that allows me to learn how QEMU/PCI/CXL works without much work pressure.
