Krazam does tech humor better than I've ever seen it. Absolutely dunks on silicon valley & big bang theory.

Is big bang theory really "tech humor?" I haven't watched much because the laugh track and general cheesiness turned me off.. but I thought it was just jokes about him being a "nerd" in the ways mainstream people think of nerds..

"Big Bang Theory" was initially written that way, but the original pilot episode was a famous flop. Test audiences hated the characters. (The unaired pilot can be found with a Google search.)

Even though the pilot failed, the studio liked the concept enough that the showrunners were given the rare opportunity to reshoot the pilot with a new script. They introduced the character of Penny and balanced the scenes carefully around emotional connection, to make it clear to audiences when the characters are connecting or failing to connect. And that's probably closer to why millions of people love the show — it's not the tech jokes or laughing at nerds but the empathy.

No, it is advertising.

At first I thought it was "BALLMERCOIN 2019", which would also be a kind of cool shirt.

That would be an alternate history where Ballmer went rogue.

He would have called it WINDOWSCOIN even if Microsoft had already excommunicated him!

Krazam is definitely the highlight of my YouTube subscriptions. Its specificity makes it even funnier.

There aren’t many software engineering comedy channels but Krazam is hilarious no matter what scale you’re rating on

I’ve tried to show it to my gf, who is v funny btw, and she had no idea what parts were supposed to be funny.

pfft.. I have no tests. Still need to figure out how to write them.

Well, technically all of your tests are very reliable then.

100% of the tests are passing.

Krazam really captures the feeling of working for a mid-sized startup in SF perfectly. The pedantry, the braggadocio, and most of all the absurdity and the alienation one feels working on this stuff.

Because it was started by ex-FAANGers, Amazon specifically.
