    Other thing to remember is these have been largely unenforceable for decades, unless you did something like take client lists, source code, etc from your former employer.

    And I hope this didn’t come off as negative or condescending.

      I’ve definitely heard about a lot of people impacted by non-competes over the years. In my field it was anywhere that you could reapply the solutions you found with that company, which sucked when that was your expertise.

      More recently I’ve been hearing that it will be really good for game developers amid the layoffs. Allowing them to go indie where they couldn’t before.
