I'd say I'm 99.99% anti-NDA for interviews and 80% anti-NDA altogether, simply for the fact that most of them are pretty draconian and abusive.
As for the NDA for a job being necessary, I think the principle behind the NDA is necessary: both parties agree that a given secret is not meant to be divulged. And yeah, there should be consequences if someone does divulge that secret. But a short, well-written document, with no "legalese" language in it, detailing exactly and specifically what is being protected, should be enough. There should be no place for abusive, draconian, one-way responsibilities and massive consequences for protecting what most of the time isn't even worth protecting.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Thanks James.
