That show is a documentary
2 comments

A couple years ago, I was interviewing for my first job at a startup. The company was very small at the time (~75 employees), and my interview loop included the CEO.

When he gave me a chance to ask him questions, I asked if he watched the show Silicon Valley, and asked how real the show is.

He laughed, and said yes, he loved the show, and that it's surprisingly realistic. There are things that they exaggerate for comedic effect, obviously, but generally the show isn't too far off from reality.

They were so accurate about many things… Including our beloved ChatGPT.
