I guess it depends, if you are keeping it to reuse in while it may be an issue. To use as a reference for future work isn't terrible as long as you aren't directly lifting code someone else wrote and putting it into your new employees codebase (thats what stackoverflow is for). My employer has us out everything on a public GitHub repo so access isn't really an issue but with corporate sensitive code it is a more difficult issue.

I agree, and even if one does not keep a copy of the code, the techniques one develop for coding or optimizing the code cannot be erased from the mind of who created them
