Good effing riddance to non-compete agreements. Here in Austin, Tx I can still vividly remember basically being blackmailed into signing those in order to get a job in IT/Managed Services. Agreeing to that before working one hour at a company.
I'm fortunate in that I have a brother who is a lawyer and told me long ago that most of those agreements had very low chances of holding up in court.

Yeah it was definitely a form of leverage that many companies held over people quite often. I'm personally am very glad to see them go.
