    but even if you weren’t caught, it’s not worth it to personally be bitter like that.

    Really depends on what you do for a living… Non-profit? Sure. Weapons manufacturer? Fucking have at it.

      But don’t be stupid about it. Stash a date somewhere that you manually update every so often (so that it’ll stop being updated if you’re fired) and then add a bunch of random waits whose durations scale with the time since that date. If you’re worried that the code will be found, comment it with some bullshit about avoiding race conditions.

      …and now I can’t use that idea, since this comment would be used in court. If I did it to a weapons manufacturer, they’d probably get the death penalty somehow.

      Fair but I wouldn’t ever work for weapons manufacturing. Also sabotage in that context would have heavy punishment, and at worst could cause collateral damage.

        I was using that as an example because it was the worst thing that came to mind. There is a whole gradient between non-profit and weapons manufacturer.
