Silicon Valley Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

Silicon Valley Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)


Silicon Valley Premiered on HBO on  April 06, 2014



In the high-tech gold rush of modern Silicon Valley, the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success. Mike Judge (“Office Space,” “Beavis & Butthead,” “King of the Hill”) brings his irreverent brand of humor to HBO in the new comedy series SILICON VALLEY. Partially inspired by Judge’s own experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the late ‘80s, the show kicks off its eight-episode season this April.

Richard not realising he has developed a powerful compression algorithm for his website rather than just a music application but the bidding war on the phone was interesting and keeping control of the company I think was the right choice

1x02 The Cap Table

1x03 Articles of Incorporation

I thought having the check made out to Pied Piper was bad enough but to add insult to injury Richard discovering that the name Pied Piper is already registered to a sprinkler company was unbelievable and he was lucky to get the name for only a $1000 but he should of got in in writing the first time

1x04 Fiduciary Duties

In hindsight Richard should of sold the company as he doesn't seem to be able to run his own company as he's easily lead astray

1x05 Signaling Risk

Erlich asking a graffiti artist to design Pied Piper's logo was out of order as he agreed to it for $10,000 without consorting with the others and the finished design was disgusting but the communication problems was amusing

The garage door being sole for a fortune was priceless

1x06 Third Party Insourcing

Kevin the hacker also called as 'The Carver' being hired by the team for two days @ $20,000 was surprising considering his age but him stuffing things up was karma and there is no way I would get in a driver-less car like Jared did

1x07 Proof of Concept

Dinesh falling for the blond was a little quick but the way she placed the laptop it wouldn't surprise me if she tried to film it

1x08 Optimal Tip-to-Tip Efficiency

Pied Piper competing against Gavin was interesting after that bizarre calculation on how to masturbate efficiently but the fact they stated from scratch over night and it worked was impressive
