Which company is this?

[tombert → jrockway]

Actually mentioning that publicly is against the policy. I can tell you via email if you promise not to post it publicly. (Address in profile)

[wccrawford → tombert]

That's nice of you, and nice of the parent for not taking you up on it, but it could have been someone from the company asking you that.

[tombert → wccrawford]

That's a valid point; didn't even consider the possibility of a trap. Thanks for the warning for the future!

[sukilot → tombert]

It's Jonathan Rockway. He's not an Apple spy.

[riquito → wccrawford]

Is it "mentioning it publicly" if it's a private conversation? Or is it meant to be "don't tell anyone"?

[tombert → riquito]

Private conversations are fine, they just typically don't like you posting about it.

[jrockway → tombert]

Nah, if you can get in trouble I don't want to know.

Apple

Not sure why you're downvoted, this is who he's talking about. It took 2 min of searching to confirm.

[m463 → bootloop]

too bad, apple needs more of an open-source presence. Where better to get it than their employees working on unrelated ideas on their own time.

Google and LinkedIn are your friends.

[rabidrat → jrockway]

Oracle has this clause. It's the main reason I chose not to work there.

[geerlingguy → rabidrat]

It seems like the majority of the top 50 or so tech companies do.
