What is the vector you’re concerned about here? You sketch out a diagram so well that the company you’re interviewing with takes a photo and secretly integrates it into their stack? Then your past employer catches wind of this, realizes you were the only person in the world to understand this system, so they go after you for damages? Sorry man, I don’t see it.
I understand that you see your past work as “proprietary”, but in the real world the vast, vast majority of us do not work on systems shrouded in such secrecy. There’s nothing interesting or proprietary about CRUD infrastructure and I genuinely can’t think of a situation where you’d be exposing yourself to any real risk by explaining it to a new employer.
