I'm not concerned about people stealing my code. I'm concerned about losing my job, which is the consequence of transmitting proprietary code over the network to an unknown 3rd party.

Also plain legal implication. Our code could contain some protected information (transient debugging code mostly) and it is illegal to transmit it to a third party first because of DNA our company has signed, and then with regards to data protection act (credit card information, name, address).

At the very least, the service would need to be validated quite extensively.
