The opposite. I regret not pushing harder to be allowed to release more things as open source. Built lots of useful tools at a previous job that would have benefited "the community", and while management initially seemed happy to open source them, the request was never granted.

Now I frequently find myself building things and thinking "damn, wish I could use that to make my life easier".

I'm keeping the details vague because I think I'm still bound by NDAs.
