Ask HN: Is it possible to back out of a non-compete/non-disclosure agreement?
... that I signed 10 days ago?
Curious if there are any links or resources that are on the web (with relevant code for state of CA)?

There do appear to be exceptions though. Can't speak to non-disclosure agreements.
Non-compete agreements are automatically void as a matter of law in California, except for a small set of specific situations expressly authorized by statute. They were outlawed by the original California Civil Code in 1872.

Exceptions - valid non-compete agreements in California
There are limited situations where a reasonable non-compete agreement may be valid in California.
1. If an owner is selling the goodwill in their business.
2. When there is a dissolution or disassociation of a partnership.
3. Where there is a dissolution of a limited liability company.
