“So what’s considered real money today, if you only happen to be a millionaire?”

“I would say a hundy.”

“A hundy?”

“A hundred million. But not including your real estate. I mean investible assets.”

“So a hundred gets you in the game?”

“Well, maybe two hundred,” he said thoughtfully, swirling the red liquid dangerously over creamy white cashmere throws.

i've never worked in silicon valley, but the show is accurate as a parody of tech culture at large

i know a person that i've either worked with or met in a professional setting that matches every single main character on that show, and it's always so weird to me

i think i said it before in another thread but it really feels like they nailed the dynamic of a small startup based on what ive done

the big corporate side ball pit is totally a valley thing, but the dynamic bullshit gavin pulls feels like itd be believable in any massive company. his spin skills are almost too real and i swear ive seen emails that feel just like his compression apology
