Recreating TechCrunch Disrupt on HBO’s ‘Silicon Valley’ [video]
- pdeuchler 12y agoIt's funny how TechCrunch is so far down the rabbit hole they can't even realize they're being made fun of. >> "the producers went as far as bringing in nearly two dozen startups that had previously exhibited at Disrupt SF 2013" Pure gold.
- mynewwork 12y agoIt's entirely possible they are self-aware enough to appreciate being part of the joke. Many people on HN enjoy the show despite having similarities to the characters. I see no reason to believe 'techcrunch can't realize they're being made fun of' is any more true than suggesting 'engineers can't realize they're being made fun of' on the show.
- ianstallings 12y agoA show about Silicon Valley would be cool.. back in the 80s.
- sharkweek 12y agoSilicon Valley is hitting a great stride - I was originally thinking how potentially terrible this show could be with a bunch of tired jokes and stereotypes, but for the most part they do a decent job minimizing this. I've come to really like the characters and the plot is pretty fun. It's an easy show to watch and enjoy.
- jack-r-abbit 12y agoAgreed. Both my wife and I have worked with people that could be those characters. It is so spot on in so many ways.
- mercnet 12y agoI feel in love with the show when they were explaining scrum process in this week's episode.
- bd 12y agoGreat show. It's very sad that Christopher Evan Welch, the actor who brilliantly portrayed Peter Gregory character (main VC investor in Pied Piper) passed away (after filming just 5 episodes): http://www.businessinsider.com.au/rip-silicon-valley-christopher-evan-welch-2014-4 http://www.businessinsider.com.au/rip-silicon-valley-christo...
- at-fates-hands 12y agoHe was also great in Rubicon. Loved that show and was pissed when they canceled it.
- cpeterso 12y agoI was hoping to learn more about Peter Gregory and Gavin Belson's backstory and that they would reconcile.
