Perhaps you are thinking of California? This is certainly true in California, but I've seen non-competes enforced in the tech sector elsewhere in the US (Seattle, Utah, etc).

California law goes as far as to state you can't have a non-compete agreement in the work contract at all. When I worked in Seattle, my contract had a non-compete that specifically said it didn't apply in California, and then the fucking staffing agency tried to tell me it wasn't a non-compete.
I called Bullshit! It explicitly excludes your California office! Don't try to lie to me!
