There's nothing hilarious about 1 million tweets @3:00 am complaining about your server being down . . . of course if it's somebody elses server, well, that's comedy gold.
You know, if the show actually did have stuff like servers going dow, I am going to watch the shit out of it. Dammit, now I'm setting the bar too high in my head.
From the article: TANDY: This is it? This is where all the tech billionaires decided to live? LANGDON: It can't be. (stops a passerby) Excuse me, is this Palo Alto? Hilarious :)
Unless they were standing outside a whole foods or so, I don't buy the existence of "passerby"
From a review submitted to AICN: "If this script is unchanged as HBO begins production, it will be one of the worst pilots HBO has ever aired. The draft I read is dated mid October, so God willing Mike Judge (and other writers John Altschuler & Dave Krinsky) get their act together. Frankly, I had to re-read this twice to really take in just how God awful it is.

"This isn't Office Space humor of reality/biting sarcasm. This isn't Idiocracy humor of the absurd. It's like a drive by concept, that in execution lacks any semblance of humor, because the world they've created isn't believable and the characters they've populated in it lack any semblance of reality."

Don't scroll too far up, or it loads the previous article right in place, and doesn't keep you where you were. Then the top-bar seems to come down at random.

How I love the Valley.
This sounds absolutely terrible. Hopefully they've made significant changes, but the stuff included in the OP's link fits with the story beats mentioned in my link below.

Sounds like the Valley I know and love.
