I’ve been a programmer 20 years and the bay area for 10, worked both startups and FANG, and that show nailed my damn life. Like, right on target. The subtle plot lines were completely on point. The blatant jokes were too real
Ohh it’s crazy accurate. I wasn’t criticizing that. I was referring to the way that most modern comedy shows about geeks (like BBT) are more for the “normals” to mock geeks than they are for the geeks themselves.
I just meant that IMO, Silicon Valley is closer to BBT than it is to The IT Crowd, but it is still safely on the “for geeks” not “against geeks” side.
