His former employer is claiming that he worked on it on their time and that he stole code. He denies these claims and even offers some evidence to prove it. So HN says he should have discussed it with them, he probably had a non-compete clause, he probably conferred his intellectual property to his employer in his contract, or that his actions are just in general bad form. BULL - The companies claims are pretty specific and if they are false as he claims then their behaviour is indefensible. I'm shocked that the HN community is in favour of this.
