WTF So I just dick'd my butt

Non-competes in IT usually can only be enforced if you're on the sales side or if you're dealing with very specific company IP. Outside of that if it's general IT type work they don't hold water in court because they aren't talking anything that's specifically damaging or unique to your business.
this. NC's are unenforceable in most states.
 
So, "YEAH BUOY!" was a hit. Went over the design for probably 15 minutes and everyone's happy with it.

And spent the next 45 minutes talking about the name. It was decided that the "YEAH BUOY!" name was too much of a distraction for now and we should come up with a better intermediate name. We settled on "good buoy."

This. So this. And Amazon is the perfect example. If you treat people well, they will come back - in droves.
This is so true. Amazon is the first place I check now before I buy most things. And why Publix isn't failing in the tough grocery market, while Winn Dixie is.

So we've got a dumb rule here in R&D: if we're designing a product, we give it the worst possible name so that marketing is forced to come up with something better. And we use the shitty name for everything until we're told otherwise.

In a few minutes, I've got a meeting where a couple of us are presenting a new floating scientific equipment platform called the "YEAH BUOY!"
We use movie names for some reason.
