I'm very opposed to non-competes except in specific scenarios like selling a business (and non-solicitation agreements often make sense). However, I'm also very skeptical of the argument that CA's success in certain industries is remotely the result of unenforceable non-competes.
There often seems to be an assumption that non-competes are the norm everywhere else and, while they certainly exist (and some firms/industries are notorious for enforcing them) that just isn't the case anything like universally in my experience.
