Get legal advice on whether the terms are enforceable (or maybe ask Reddit legal advice even though technically the people on there are not giving official legal advice, just opinion) I don't know of companies who wouldn't wish employees aren't advancing skills in their free time. I did have a company saying I couldn't freelance on the side but again was told it's not enforceable. It is true however that you can't use the same code verbatim from a company project and present it as your own in public
