Silicon Valley is not a place. Its a figment of your imagination. San Francisco, San Mateo, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Santa Clara, San Jose are places. But no one wants to read articles and watch crappy TV shows called "The Real San Jose". To me, what people do in "Silicon Valley", they can do anywhere else. Start-ups, Self-employment, Big Companies exist in many other parts of the world. All it is is regular people making a living. And for some of these people, work defines who they are. For others though, work supports the life they live outside the office and nothing more.
I love this sentence: "Normal people, who have normal jobs working for other people, can no longer relate to you, and you can’t relate to them."
I wish I knew how to better deal with situations where I have to interact with people working normal jobs, it's very awkward.
The show is awesome, if you approach it as a documentary-style sitcom like the Office or Parks and Rec rather than as a reality show.<p>As a sitcom, the show is pure genious. Especially the last 10 minutes of the second episode, in which the blonde ditz is on a "date" with some nerdy model....
