Is picrel realistic portrayal of Silicon Valley, startups, coding and technology?

The tech stuff is fake and just meant to be easy to understand, but the culture stuff is pretty spot on for some start ups. However, a lot of start ups are extremely professional and look at Silicon Valley in the way a lot of people look at Big Bang Theory.

In theory they use version control terminology, but remember the episode with the child genius who implemented whatever cloud/network shit he implemented also deleting Richard's code? It indicates they don't use version control correctly because they could've just rolled that shit back.

That being said it produced the scene where Erlich slaps that child and throws his bike in the bushes so it was a positive experience overall

Silicon Valley and how cringy it is? Yes, it’s spot on, coding not so much but the show gets a pass for how funny it is.

They actually win so that's unrealistic. Also having any security guy is basically unheard of, even if he's 1/2+ your programming staff.

It was a Macbook so while it was labeled "Delete" it was the equivalent of backspace. Apple labels Backspace and Delete as both Delete, Microsoft and standard keyboards label Return and Enter both as Enter.

It's definitely more accurate than BBT. Even here on the East Coast I know a ton of people who match the characters' personalities perfectly.

>They actually win so that's unrealistic
You have to overlook that for a TV show. Otherwise it's just too depressing. Just pretend three dozen simultaneous shows were made and we happen to be watching the one where the startup succeeds.

that depends on what he did. git isn't a backup solution.

It would have to be pretty fucking bad. If as he said he finished the cloud first then started fucking with the other code, they could just revert his changes in the other code. If he committed it all at once they could just revert the relevant files. Maybe that's what they were trying to portray in the show I suppose.

Unrealistic to have catastrophic failure due to stupid human error in spite of version control? You guys /new/?

is this troll?
gitlab is not version control

Deleting production data ≠ Deleting code from your repo. And the file transfer with the Hanneman scene wouldn't randomly be running on every laptop terminal emulator in the room with write access and a backspace to delete the data during the process shortcut. The show is good enough to ignore it, but it does occasionally trigger my autism.

Leaving the sorts of machines that would be running it completely unsecured out in the open is pretty startuppy though. Also wasn't that shit intentional? I forget.

The picture is absolutely what I imagine these people to be like. Wannabe psychopaths.

They were downloading a bunch of files from a porn site. For some reason the transfer was displaying in terminal windows on everybody's laptop. For some reason pressing and holding backspace during the file transfer on any of the laptops would rapidly delete files from the porn site's end.

I could believe that a startup could somehow create a wacky situation allowing you to rapidly delete files like that from multiple machines during a transfer, but not a large porn site. To be a successful porn site you basically have a large target on your back, you'd need good data protection and general security policies. They'd only be getting read access.

well their job was compressing the data, that's not read-only. Also not sure if deleting a bunch of porn would harm any porn site's business model.

They were gonna work on it on their end. I dunno, in the end it doesn't matter. I just found that particular scene to be a bit over-the-top, even if it was within Hanneman's personality.

I havent seen anything more realistic portraying the actual valley and startup scene
coding? no its nowhere realistic
