If you write something at work does anything realistically stop you retaining enough person documentation / snippets to fully or partially recreate it?
My buddy Slim seems capable of it and has built up quite a portfolio of "ready to go" solutions for common problems over the years.

It's a matter of degree, obviously, but every time you do this it's likely to count as IP infringement. Generic libraries? Probably nobody will ever notice or care. But if they do, it could be expensive for you.
