Of course, some stuff you can't avoid, especially code leaking. Luckily code isn't usually that interesting or useful to external parties which is the only reason it isn't leaked more.

For the rest of the stuff, there's a sliding scale. In no universe does your average twitch developer need raw access to password hashes, for example.

What with security as it is on these companies, the code is literally the most sensitive information they can hold, specially in terms of value to the company. With the code out, expect lots more high-profile cracks in the coming months...

"your average twitch developer" needs access to the password hashes or at least the code that checks these hashes the moment they need to debug an issue which involves logging in, and from then its all downwards.
