I have to say that it was mostly the girls in the show that annoyed me. The guys were pretty believable in my opinion, and also legitimate. One of them was the founder of Carsabi (YC company).
I'm a startup founder and I've been to a costume party or two in my time. I'm not just at home coding all day. And yes, I've drank alcohol before and had fun, drunken, crazy nights.
For some reason I feel like the people who are bitter about this show are bitter because they work 24/7 and are completely stressed out. They don't like the idea that some people are making startups and having fun as well.
In the end, though, people need to stop taking this thing so seriously. They obviously took 6 people with the most extreme personalities out of Silicon Valley to do a TV show to ENTERTAIN. People understand that. People know that not everybody in Jersey acts like the guys in Jersey Shore.
I will say that the Sarah girl annoyed the hell out of me. When she said that one of her tweets was worth $10,000 I just laughed. She barely even has any followers.
- robryan 14y agoIt is about the balance though. Sure everyone goes to parties, I wouldn't devote most of an episode to it unless it was relevant to what they were doing. Clearly though it isn't directed at the majority of people working in startups, who would be way more interested in what the characters were building and how they were doing it.
