I work as software engineer. Can I build my own web site without being fired?

 

I am going to open my own web site and also write there a column, but I'm afraid my boss won't like this hobby. It will be a big application and I will need to work on it on my spare time. I like my work and I like also to program outside my work. Can I do that or it will be talking a big risk?

I don't want to hide this web site, because I do believe it will be a great success, I just don't know if this collide with my work. I do progarm web sites at my work, but not like what I am planning to do.

This web site may be some day a real company, I don't know what will happen but I love the idea of doing it. Please advise how to behave. I do know big companies started from people who had worked while they started their own thing.

Hi,

Unless your contract states otherwise I see no problem in starting such a website. Of course you won't be able to work on it during your work hours but things you do on your free time are no one's business.
