I know one guy who can't watch Silicon Valley because it triggers him. He had a tech startup himself in the valley back in the day.

I was never in a startup and I found the show incredibly stressful to watch.
Krazam is starting to have this effect on me.
Kai Lentit on YouTube has been doing these mock interviews and some of them hit too close to home for me.

Oh my. I just watched "Interview with 90s Computer Nerd" and am laughing so hard at the deadpan line "soundblaster 16 IRQ conflicts are a way of life"
I couldn't watch Silicon Valley when I was working in tech. It constantly triggered rage as it was way too close to my actual experience. After I left tech, I found it to be amazing.
i wouldnt say it triggers me but its not fun to watch after a long day of stupid IT bs

same with mr robot. like i'm going crazy because of cybersec issues, i dont want to spend my free time watching a guy go crazy because of cybersec issues
