Although I somewhat agree with the sentiment, I would never sabotage. Too proud of my work. Actually, I take that back; the older it is the more sick I am to look at it. But still, not sick enough to break it on purpose.

Haven't contributed to any open source (I really should...) but I've written free software for the company I work for now. Didn't have any credentials or job experience, just a couple certifications that say I could do ohms law a little bit and work an IT help desk. So I had to spend my free time in the summer of 2017 writing this stupid Windows C# application they needed (I love to do embedded programming, I hate doing it for Winblows) just to prove I could do it and get my foot in the door. If they fired me, I'm certainly not going to go trash the source code for it and delete the binaries.
