Actually mentioning that publicly is against the policy. I can tell you via email if you promise not to post it publicly. (Address in profile)

That's nice of you, and nice of the parent for not taking you up on it, but it could have been someone from the company asking you that.

That's a valid point; didn't even consider the possibility of a trap. Thanks for the warning for the future!

It's Jonathan Rockway. He's not an Apple spy.

Is it "mentioning it publicly" if it's a private conversation? Or is it meant to be "don't tell anyone"?

Private conversations are fine, they just typically don't like you posting about it.

Nah, if you can get in trouble I don't want to know.

Apple

Not sure why you're downvoted, this is who he's talking about. It took 2 min of searching to confirm.

too bad, apple needs more of an open-source presence. Where better to get it than their employees working on unrelated ideas on their own time.

Google and LinkedIn are your friends.

Oracle has this clause. It's the main reason I chose not to work there.

It seems like the majority of the top 50 or so tech companies do.
