Silicon Valley
I managed to catch up on some of the new Mike Judge show Silicon Valley and was quite amused.
This clip shows the reality of remote conferencing type tools. A bunch of nerdy nerds in Silicon Valley with a small start up. Stupid money flows around and everyone has their own ideas for software to make the world a better place
. The best being human heaters which blast you with microwaves.
Another clip shows why and how they started Scrum.
It’s full of good references, similar to IT Crowd, with a few howlers that you can let pass for the sake of making the show flow (only one of them knowing Java, yeah right and a disturbing lack of source control). It mocks nerds and nerd culture whilst showing the PR people to be babbling techno-phrases
@Alan_A_Graham I’ve been planning to watch Silicon Valley for a while, might bingewatch. That logo brings back glorious Sim City 2 vibes.
