This has a BUNCH of comedy gold in it. The startup I work for transitioned into the post-Series B phase this past quarter, where we have a nice new space and are in a hiring spat. That stuff alone is ripe with potential, like dealing with the dumb infrastructure left by previous tennants in the new space or interviewing loving weirdos.

There's also random dumb poo poo that happens: my company hired a consultant friend of the CEO, and eventually this off-site guy was tasked with developing a data analysis pipeline. Turns out this consultant doesn't know poo poo, so he hired ANOTHER consultant, and between the two of these guys they couldn't deliver anything functional after three months; I built a minimal functional pipe this past week in 20 hours of wall-clock time.

That's hilarious.

I liked how Judge handled the "but there's no female lead character!" criticism from Season 1 by introducing a female lead character in Season 2, getting a bunch of positive "Silicon Valley is no longer problematic" stories from a news cycle, and then 2 weeks later writing off the character completely

Ahh yes, that news cycle. I remember it well.

It absolutely is. He's an absurdist. This is what he does. I loving love it personally as I often behave the same way.

Now, being an absurdist comes from like... one of the deeper levels of insecurity - so I wouldn't say it's a *positive* trait necessarily. But I totally identify with it.

Please do not act the same way TJ Miller does in interviews
