Are any of you familiar with any USA Fortune 500 tech companies with cultures that are amenable to (and perhaps even encouraging of) employees having side projects?

Thanks. Yeah, I definitely regret using my primary email back in university when I was applying everywhere. I’m older and slightly wiser now, but databases unfortunately have amazing memories :)

Yes! And sometimes from different email addresses. “Hi! My colleague was pinging you with no luck over the past months, so now I am...” - All completely automated.

My email existing in a database that gets passed around to different new companies that automatically spam it daily via a CRM has absolutely nothing to do with who I am or my competence. I'm just a row in a database, and the cost to the spammers is 0.
Therefore, I don't understand how my post could be interpreted as humble bragging. Perhaps if I had included more details like this one, such confusion wouldn't occur. Thanks for sharing your interpretation. Hopefully this comment will help.
Ask HN: How to automate handling tech recruiter spam?
If you're like me, and somehow your email now exists in tech recruiting databases (probably due to resumes you handed out at job fairs X years ago), how do you automate handling all of the inbound emails from every startup in the world? What's the best way to minimize the # of minutes and overall noise this creates in one's daily email life?

You and I have similar setups! I love it, but there's one thorn that I've not been able to figure out yet.
Have you (or anyone reading this) been able to figure out how to get diff-highlight to be more intelligent so that if 'foo' changes to "foo", the highlighter is smart enough to only highlight the quotes as changing, but not the word foo? (Though this example is trivial, any time you've got two changes on the same line, this issue occurs where everything in between those changes gets highlighted as well.) I noticed that other tools in this thread such as delta and banga don't suffer from this issue.

Do you just do CMD+Tab like most of the world, or are their fancier, hacker-y ways to do this we could share with one another?
