It sounds like both sides (the people involved with the show and the people involved with silicon valley) should both lighten up a little.

If the show is off-base they should accept the criticism and move the later episodes toward a more realistic satire.

If google has a 6 person circular bicycle they conduct meetings in, expect there to be a joke. Smart people are weird, own it.

But... Don't make up a strawman who is looking to get rich without actually building something amazing, while being a weirdo slob that is completely clueless. There are hundreds of start ups on AngelList that are making a difference in the world while being completely professional.

That being said, I'm assuming they only screened the first episode? I wouldn't rush to judgement.


I really did not need the detail about the "bacon waffles" though. Odd.
