FLOSS can scratch a personal itch, like gaming or other hobbies, while also providing something for the resume. (Assuming it's not embarrassingly bad.) Still, I'm reluctant to release my personal work that way. Now I do encourage my employers to do it for non-core functionality because it will make my future life easier, no matter where I work.
