So your fear is that it will be like every TV show about anything, ever.
Silicon Valley is not so special that it deserves or needs some particularly higher standard accuracy.
- burntroots 13y agoHis actual fear is it that he won't be able to suspend the necessary disbelief to enjoy it. You see the same thing from anybody who has specialty knowledge and sees it misrepresented on TV. They know what they're seeing is wrong, so it breaks the illusion. A great example is my buddy's wife. She's an MD and he loved to watch House. She could never get into it because every time they skewed medical facts to fit the story, she knew.
- mason240 13y agoYou are correct about that, but to most people, the stereotypes about silicon valley apply to everyone in working tech, even people like me working on legacy enterprise software in MN. For the non-tech people I know, their impression of the tech industry as a whole, and thus my job, are tied to stereotypes about silicon valley.
