Ask HN: Any way out of IP assignment and non-compete without quitting my job?

I took a dev job about 6 mos ago and signed non-compete and IP assignment because I was in a weak bargaining position.

The problem, coding is also my hobby. I really miss being able to freelance and my open source projects are dying on the vine. It's really bothering me, especially because the coding I'm doing at work is extra soul crushing and not what I signed up for.

If I could get out of these contracts in any way so I could freelance and pick up my OSS projects again I would be delighted. However I get the feeling it may be dangerous to my career to even ask.

Any of you have luck talking your way out of these contracts for personal projects?
