Like if the main engineer creates lots of really useful hooks etc. is it stealing if you use them outside of work?
I’m talking about using the idea and not necessarily the entire code.

That’s kind of how experience works. More experience usually means more pay. If one doesn’t take what they learned from previous employment, then they are stealing from their current employer.
Also, who gives a fuck about your former employer’s IP? You don’t get paid enough to lick the boots of some corporation who isn’t paying you.
Clone the whole repo and reference it when you need.
…but be smart about it. You never know when some former co-worker with a grudge against you might tattle on you to your unusually litigious former boss. Don’t go bragging about how you copy constantly from your old employer’s repo or have a copy of your old employer’s entire private corporate wiki.
In other words, fuck your boss, but don’t fuck yourself over in the process.
Good point. Also, your work absolutely does not need your socials, nor do your coworkers. That whole “we’re a family” thing is bullshit. Get real friends.
