   My understanding is that if non-compete clauses are unreasonable then they they are generally unenforceable. As in if they put undue hardship on you finding employment elsewhere. It seems the exception is usually up at the senior leadersh

   And you are surprised? This is Rollingstone, not one of the Economist, NYT, WSJ, or WP.

   Usually to be accepted you need to apply. Why apply if you were going to turn it down? (genuine curiosity)

    My quick 2 minute clicking around critique: 1. No search? A plumber is one one the best paid impossible-to-outsource-overseas jobs you can get without a college degree. Coming to the site I immediately wanted to search for it and have that

    Great marketing. Now how do I get it? Where is the big shiny buy/try or download link? I thought maybe the marketplace? Nope. Then I tried going to autodesk.com and I scrolled to the footer and went to the store. I did a search: h

    Become a technical polymath. Consider branching out in to hardware? IoT, etc... Take away technology, what are you passionate about? If you founded a company, it went big, you cashed out and started a foundation, who would your foundatio

    Github is a network. Network through shared engineering interests, mutual admiration and meritocracy. Pull requests can be surprisingly social. Are you looking for a geographically relevant network? Or will distributed and virtual suffic

    Stack overflow I think of more as: "I have this piece of broken code and can't figure out what's wrong". IRC is great for "how would I go about doing X".

    This reminds me a lot of http://www.brettspielwelt.de/Spiele/ which has been around for over a decade. The game list isn't as big as Vassal, but the client and interface for the games has been pretty reliable.
