The way capitalism is supposed to work is you quit this job and open a shop which does the same thing as the existing company but doesn't artificially reduce speed, using that as a competitive advantage. The end result is that the first company is required to either adopt your strategy or fail, either solution leading the consumer to a better result.


Which is why the no-compete was invented...


I've read that those may be illegal or unenforceable according to the law. Check your jurisdiction.

That would require rewriting the whole application (without the artificial speed reduction part), which may be a lot of work.
