Really sad that companies put these kinds of restrictions on their employees...

Well considering that the author went on to work at Apple, it sort of makes sense. I don't think he was explicitly told not to continue development, but it is likely that some sort of boilerplate part of his contract restricts him.

I don't think it makes any sense, and the fact that it's a boilerplate clause everyone gets makes it worse, not better.

Employers really need to stop trying to control what their employees do while off the clock.
