I hope that things continue to improve for you. There are still edge cases in California too, or at least one: if you leave partnership (not employment) with an LLC registered in _another_ state, non-competes still apply. I know this from experience with H1, the Holacracy-making company. I don't blame them for having a non-compete, and I wasn't interested in founding a competitor or working for one of their clients, but it was weird to think those actions could make me liable.
