Still probably not. The code also deleted files, deleted accounts, and created infinite loops which took down large chunks of the network and infrastructure.

You could take your code, but you can't take down the company.

1. I assumed that the code was running on a machine that Lu controlled.
2. Most companies I have worked at had code reviews, but it was on the honor system. I am supposed to get reviews for all the code I push to main, but there is nothing stopping me from checking in code that was not reviewed (or getting code reviewed and making a change before pushing it). My coworkers trust me to follow the process and allow me to break the rules in an emergency.
