It is absolutely not the case that you can just quit a company, wait a year, and then dump all their confidential information.

Even if there were no legal repercussions (which there are), that's a great way to never be hired again.

Time since 2015 is rather more than a year. And, all appearances are that any signatory no longer exists, as such.

Finally, if you don't yet know about voluntary termination of contracts, you have an opportunity to learn more about it.

Never be hired because you gave away most of your value for free?

Never be hired because trust is important in human endeavors

At least the illusion of trust. Much more valuable to market your past experience then privately give away your secrets in private.

And when it's been over 5 years?

What about talking about things from 10 years ago, or 15?

The grandparent post is wrong but if OP is being accurate about "wish I could" then the NDAs or severe expectations of not talking are going way too far.
