Which is why you always implement a dead man’s switch that you can turn off if you leave the job amicably. And never leave your source code behind if you can avoid it.

Hell there have been contracts in tech that say that everything you code while employed, regardless of whether it’s related to the business or not, they can claim, whether that extent is enforcible is another question but just the mere fact that plenty of companies are brazen enough to try that shit speaks for how much they expect to get away with, and they’re probably right.
Individuals rarely win against businesses as a design feature of capitalist society.
