the burger king sesame seed speculation was a master stroke of ridiculousness and that kind of financial chess-playing kind of evaporated after he was gone
i hope his island reappears in the plot at some point

My favourite thing about this show is the way Erlich pronounces "Aviato".

A guy who wrote a script for Silicon Valley apparently has aphantasia, the inability to see images in your mindhttps://www.facebook.com/notes/blake-ross/aphantasia-how-it-feels-to-be-blind-in-your-mind/10156834777480504/
for some reason that seems like a disability that would help, not hinder, when writing for Silicon Valley

I love how Ehrlich loses every conversation he has with Jian Yang, like somehow he always manages to come out of them worse off than before
― Οὖτις, Monday, 2 May 2016 21:31 (eight years ago) link
Jian Yang yelling at him while shoving whatever traditional Japanese thing that Erlich foisted him down the garbage disposal was great
Also him interrupting to say that yes, Japanese people are racist when Erlich was saying he was not racist was a perfect response to something that wasn't actually said
― μpright mammal (mh), Monday, 2 May 2016 21:35 (eight years ago) link
he's still an iffy character in his portrayal but they're getting better at capturing the stilted conversations between someone who speaks English as a second language and the American person they loathe

have you guys seen what some of the "appliance" data center things you can buy look like? in one way they make sense, in that they're supported by the vendor from the hardware/OS upwards to their product
on the other hand, it's a physical thingy that looks justifiable to buy for higher-ups when it's usually just a software thingy
also some of them have some lol branding

I like the appliance angle cuz that means (hopefully) we'll get to see some hardware development stuff (trips to Chinese factories, etc.).

I do like this show altho idk if I'd say it's getting better. Sometimes the plot contortions get in the way of the jokes (watching it I have a hard time not thinking about Judge's comment about how they have a hard time "constantly coming up with different ways for them to fail")
