Ask HN: How much of the HBO Show "Silicon Valley" represents "reality"

18 pointsby cpherabout 11 years ago
Like the title says, how many of my LOLs are rooted in reality vs. complete bullshit. I really want to believe a "Hooli" exists, as well as a "Pied Piper". It seems they're pulling out all of the stereotypes/cliches from SV, but I'm curious how much they're getting right.

They don't need to get it right. Its probably as realistic as Entourage is/was to Hollywood. Hollywood actors thought Entourage was far-fetched during season one but they still tuned-in for each episode and it ultimately turned into its own reality, as it should. After all, it's entertainment!

Try Betas, I thought it was much more entertaining and closer to the dream (Reality always sucks)-<p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3012184/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imdb.com&#x2F;title&#x2F;tt3012184&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;m sure it&#x27;s as representative of &quot;reality&quot; as Southern Charm.

I like to think that Silicon Valley is the prequel to Idiocracy and that there is just one Mike Judge universe.

I&#x27;m thinking more of what goes on in founders&#x27; minds as they navigate the morass of SV.

Its far removed from reality...
