I will be checking this out for sure but I really hope they get the tech terms right.

It's going to be hard to stand if they do the usual technobabble.

They could win major points with their target audience simply by namedropping Vim or BSD.

Mike Judge and his co-creator were doing some research for the show about 2 years ago, and stopped by our office in SOMA (San Francisco). We were telling them about open source, meet ups, editors, and stuff like that. Here are some clips of it:

Here's him asking about ruby: http://www.tout.com/m/t0x6dh judge drawing on one of our desks: http://www.tout.com/m/q8ppc1 here's the full stream: http://www.tout.com/hashtags/MikeJudgeToutHQ

Does Mike Judge and his co-creator visit HN for research as well? He would get tons of material.
Their "target audience" isn't you or anyone else who is worried about the technical terminology in a comedy show.

(It's not me, either, but I've seen this show live and don't need to see it again.)

I'm a fan of Judge's so I've been watching the hbo previews and In a couple of the making of's type previews they really stress the number of consultants and research they have done to get it right. I hope they do because if not that will kill it for me.
I think that's a pretty low bar. Hopefully they'll do more than that, and from the previews it seems obvious they will.
