I hope I learn some day how to code a bug in python that will not show up in any error messages and absolutely ruins a program. I'd love to find a random program at whatever job I end up at and before quitting just ruin it with a random line of code that doesn't output an error code.

Easy, it's just... continue programming in python. (large codebases are a mess in python...)

More seriously: Don't do that, it'll only create headaches for your fellow colleagues and will not really hit those (hard) that likely deserve this.

It's not hard to do. What would be hard would be getting it through code review. Like the example provided.. how would that ever get through code review for a merge? Must not be a well-protected code base?

Publish your own package to PyPI that on import does some evil stuff. Name the package something similar to a known, but not too well known package. Supply chain attacks are even less defended against than other stuff.

All this relies on companies being shit though, but well, we all know that's the case in a lot of places.

That's just called malware

If you're thinking about rage quitting a job you don't even have yet, maybe take a different career from the beginning?

What the hell.
