Is this show mr robot level cringe to people who actually work

>>60892960
Started watching recently, it can be pretty funny but the plot goes nowhere. They keep just getting back to square one.

>>60892984
it's all about the journey and the bond between friends brah

>>60892960
I almost died at dick jerk alg , show will forever go down as one of the few that captured the autism for a few brief shining moments, keeping it up though is hard since science and engineering don't really have much intrinsic comedy and so it has to devolve into interpersonal shit like >>60893006 just like bbt did

Pokes a lot of jabs at code autists, code bros, and vcs. It's funny and accurate sometimes and pol/g probably likes it because of the edgy hacker and the pajeet who's a terrible programmer.

All in all, funny show, don't take it too seriously.

Fun fact, Mike Judge (creator, also of Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill) worked as a programmer in the late 80s/early 90s.

Pretty decent show but it doesn't go anywhere. But it's funny as hell sometimes

Went through the 4 seasons in like 2 or 3 days. Pretty good show that can be surprisingly accurate sometimes. Mr. Robot is for the edgy le hacker crowd, this one is for people who actually work in this industry.

Isn't there an anime about coding? I remember seeing a girl dressing up trap girl and they were talking about kernel and shit, was that just a shitty sub?

>>60892960
Is that a poo to the left? Does he make that funny accent? Might watch just for that.

Not much about coding but I really liked the first season of Halt and catch fire. Micromen is pretty cool too.

>>60892960
I work making real time stream compressors and I do enjoy the show. Even though what they are trying to build makes 0 sense.

It's more of a satire about tech than a cringefest: The bullshit pitching for vc money, retarded bosses that think everything is easy to build, the suicidal startup culture

Brilliant show, it's obviously satire, but it's good satire and they have tech consultants that sneak in accurate material often, but you can't expect a comedy such as this to be serious or relevant 100% to ongoings in tech industry.

Also created by Mike Judge, you know Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill.

I heard many people in the valley don't watch this show because it gives them anxiety with how accurate it is.

The accuracy isn't the scary part, but they lift the curtain and mock everyone mercilessly showing the world how full of shit everyone is.

That gets to them. Not all of them, Im sure the lower level tech guys love it.

No.
This show goes nowhere!
Music App goes nowhere
Compression cloud goes nowhere
Every girlfriend/date/boyfriend goes nowhere
New Office goes nowhere
New CEO goes nowhere
Hooli compression app goes nowhere
Bighead at hooli goes nowhere
Bachmanity goes nowhere
Videochat goes nowhere
Reviga goes nowhere
Porn site deal goes nowhere
goes nowhere
Video streaming platform goes nowhere
The remote located programers goes nowhere
The new hires in season 2 goes nowhere
Bighead as a professor goes nowhere
The new logo goes nowhere
The competing middle-out companies goes nowhere
The Cloud problem goes nowhere

Nothing happens in this series!
The only thing stable is the fact that pied piper will NEVER succeed.
NOTHING they do will ever turn out positive, no other characters that the main cast + Hooli and Reviga will matter or stay.

Its pretty sad when even Regular Show has a better overarching story-line than this series... and Regular shows story arch is mad almost by surprise

>>60894039
>doesn't see the value in human relationships the post
it doesn't have to go anywhere. it's a show about tech

>>60894039
Jee, you just said what I didn't like in the show but couldn't say what it is.

I have to pause regularly to finish cringing

if piped piper took off the show would be completely changed.

silicon valley 2.0

>mr robot level cringe

Seeing as how Mr Robot has very little tech cringe, no it's not Mr Robot-level cringe, it's much worse.

>listens to a song
>first thing he notices is the file size
>discerns it's lossless without any spectral analysis whatsoever
>i have discovered a new magical algorithm to compress data beyond mathematically proven limitations!
>despite being smart enough to figure out this magic algorithm i'm apparently too stupid to realize data compression algorithm has non-musical applications!
>despite being smart enough to figure out this magic algorithm i'm apparently too stupid to figure out that an offer for a smaller percentage of my company is actually a better offer!

There's so much cringe in the first episode alone. The only Mr Robot cringe I remember early on is the exec commenting on KDE, which wasn't even a technical inaccuracy it was just a bizarre thing to notice/discuss.

>>60893329
>Isn't there an anime about coding?
>an

what the fuck was that dab

It's ok
Go watch Halt and Catch Fire if you want a thinking man's show

>>60892984
This, they only know how to write the garage company period. Whenever the company starts to become a real thing, then they just let the main guy do something incredibly stupid which then throws them back to square one. It's so lame, I wanted to see them become big and explore different aspects of surviving in the tech industry, not this perpetual static scenario sitcom hell.

whats wrong with mr robot?

>inb4 everything

I see no issues with the tech in the show.

>>60892960
yes

>>60894121

yeah he's probably as autistic as you

>>60894333
it was intentional for exact this purpose: so that viewers will go wtf

>>60894913

Well, they write the non garage period fine for the other companies.

>>60893604
>more of a satire about tech than a cringefest
You serious? Every episode I have to pause it because of the level of cringe I feel. Richard and the the "HR" woman, for example. You can see it coming a mile away but I still recoil so fucking badly.

>>60894039
It's fucking satire

You can't have satire and success in the same script because it writes you into a corner.

>>60893148
>creator, also of Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill
Youre forgetting Office Space.

>>60893329
battle programmer shirase

>>60893464

fucking good show

>>60894121
>it was just a bizarre thing to notice/discuss.
Tyrell is a very bizarre man, in an even more bizarre relationship.

>>60892960
Just look at the picture. It's for faggots.

>>60894121
>>60895296
>>I remember early on is the exec commenting on KDE
>>it was just a bizarre thing to notice/discuss

I thought that was just supposed to convey that Tyrell is a poser and his tech knowledge is limited to picking a desktop environment

>>60895359
A poser is Terry Colby, who has no fucking idea about anything, yet is Chief Technology Officer.

>>60895217
do you mean laurie or richards tard wrangler
laurie is amazing

>>60895385
wut

i mean richard hendricks

>>60895556
by HR woman

>>60895230
>You can't have satire and success in the same script because it writes you into a corner.
this is Mike Judge's idea of 'satire', make all the characters so dumb they can only fail, like all satire is Beavis and Butthead level of stupidity to be 'satirical'

>>60895576
Oh I just didnt want to spoil it. I mean when hes sperging out to the reporter in s3 instead of HR

I forgot s3 isnt current, I only watched it over the weekend so i thought it was fresh

>>60892960
it's a comedy mate, why do you expect it to be accurate about anything?(even though it probably is when it comes to how that place runs)

>>60895599
No you're right. Watching attractive, quirky role models beat the odds and succeed in a highly conpetitive field is far funnier than flawed humans failing in ironic twists of fate!
Idiot.

>>60894121
Yeah but one of the most famous scenes is about jerking off men which is a pretty realistic impression of your job.

"I was driving around my best friend Judith's great-granddaughter the other day..."

Jared cracks me the hell up.

I'm a software developer that's a partner in a CA company and previously co-founded an MA based company. I think the show is very accurate.

>>60894639
>Halt C&F
>Thinking Show
>Man's Show

>>60892960
80% accurate. i couldn't do the first season when it came out because the cringe was too real to life.

>>60892960
cringe says 4chan anime fapper

My dad's an FBI agent and he can't enjoy any shows about the FBI. Knowing things about a profession from firsthand experience inevitably ruins any works of fiction about it that aren't boring to literally everyone else

>>60893214
Of course the show attracts edgelords, but that doesn't ruin my enjoyment of it! Also, the first season of Mr. Robot definitely held le edgy hacker crowd but the second one had surprisingly little to do with hacking imo.

>>60896083
Can confirm. I work at a hedge fund and Billions is retarded and brain-dead

>>60896083
I think SV is pretty funny, but I live in norway so it's not like I'm directly exposed.

I like this show a lot, I don't mind Mr Robot, should I watch Halt and catch fire?

>>60892960
been watching since the start, pretty good show overall.

>>60896083
Being in any part of the military ruins pretty much every movie where they have a military entity play a role

>nobody is eating mres
>that guy isn't being smoked for that shitshow of a uniform
>nobody is just standing around doing nothing
>what rank are you even???
>why doesn't he stand at parade rest
Etc

I love silicon valley. It's fun

>>60896277
Halt and catch fire is alright. The first season is A#1

>>60896277
Yes, the main cast is excellent ans the whole early homecomputing period is very new to TV

Another fun fact: he quit his IT job to go play bass for a blues band before attempting to go back to school taking graduate math courses until he made Beavis and Butthead. He seems like a real cool guy.

That being said, I enjoy his newest show. It's not the most profound show by any means, but Mike Judge always had the ability to write something that has a calm, relaxed pace to it that isn't over the top and doesn't force much. The plots are generally down to earth and poke fun at how out of touch an industry can be. The guy is just great, and Jared in particular is one of the best characters he's ever come up with.
