Команда ушла в стартап. Кому принадлежит код?

Один из самых болезненных сценариев в IT-бизнесе: ключевые разработчики увольняются, открывают собственную компанию и выпускают продукт, подозрительно похожий на ваш. Или обратная ситуация — вы сам разработчик, который ушёл строить своё, а бывший работодатель уже звонит юристам.Разберёмся, как работает закон, почему «я сам написал этот код» — недостаточный аргумент, и что нужно прописать в договоре заранее.

DJI Osmo Mobile 8P smartphone gimbal is here with a detachable remote control

The remote has a joystick on it too, giving you great flexibility to control the device from a distance and perfectly... Read more

Enterprise AI teams are hitting a wall — not because their models can't reason, but because the workflows underneath them were never built for agents. Tasks fail, handoffs break, and the problem compounds as organizations push agents deeper into back-office systems. A new architectural layer is emerging to address it: workflow execution control planes that impose deterministic structure on processes agents are expected to run.One of the companies bringing this...
