Sumit Khanna has a blog post with the title, Why I Don't Sign Non-Competes:

[...] Over the course of the next fifteen years, I would be asked to sign non-competes several more times, always prior to employment. I've always refused, and until recently, I've never been denied a position because of that refusal.

A non-compete is a type of contract issued by an employer, typically part of the standard work agreement, job offer or non-disclosure agreement, which states that the employee agrees not to start a business that competes with their current company or to work for their company's competitors, for a set length of time (typically one year) after leaving or being terminated. If that sounds like an illegal contract, in the state of California, it is.

What are soylentils' experience with non-compete clauses?

    Wow, that's weapons-grade stupidity.

    And Eth is the hydrogen bomb in that analogy!
