Chris Lattner Joins Google Brain

I have zero experience with this, but I imagine working for three major competitors in such a short time can lead to some complicated situations regarding industrial secrets.

Compilers (specially open source) may be a stretch, but Tesla AI and Google AI? Can a contract clause protect one company when you're working for the other on the exact same field?

Again, I have no idea what I'm talking about, just curious.

Non-compete clauses are illegal in California. That's one of the big reasons for the tech boom there.

So, how does that work with, non-California companies, like Microsoft? Former MS employee joins FB/Google. Now can MS sue them?

What about the years of "moratorium" in cases like Scott Forstall?
