A candidate showing me code they wrote for their previous employer would be pretty much an automatic black flag for me.

It's a matter of "if you want to know how they'll treat you, look at how they're treating their ex".

exactly. I work damn hard when I leave a place to make sure I have absolutely zero IP. its likely none of it would be useful to anyone anyway. But thats what I agreed to explicitly, thats what my former employer wanted, and as unlikely as it is that anything would happen I wouldn't want to taint a new company with code that can't be clearly attributed to them (which is what they paid for).

thats insane
