For those of you who say just walk away. Alot of people lack confidence in themselves when they start out. Alot of people are really ignorant, even in the compsci space. A non-compete harms everyone as a restrain of trade. Parents really do not educate their kids on what to watch out for-often alot of parents just do not care about kids. Schools do not, either because of a lack of classroom time or large employers lobby the state against it.

Banning predatory provisions, especially non-competes, as California demonstrates, really helps develop the economy.
