I’d like someone to steal my ideas!

Democratizing Innovation by Erik Von Hippel explains why innovators might freely reveal their ideas instead of protecting them via ineffective patents and trade secrecy.

Think about the people who signed an NDA on graduation day. Working under NDA for all their natural lives.. and consider yourself lucky.

This is truly a sad thing, and I've seen lots and lots of writings like your.

Isn't it funny when we are all of a sudden hearing everywhere how the web is opening up and corporates are becoming more transparent, it probably isn't so? At least not with companies who don't get how the web is changing and still try to control and keep everything a big secret, that is.

Such is the life of external developer. In case you invent something, try getting your name in the patent applications to ease the pain :)

I have worked under such agreement for over 6 years now. I’am starting to think that this affects to my CV in negative way, since there is no one to ask reference or recommendations.
