AWS suffered ‘at least two outages’ caused by AI tools, and now I’m convinced we’re living inside a ‘Silicon Valley’ episode (www.tomsguide.com)

I've been in the tech/startup world since the early '00s and I can definitively say you best start believin' in Silicon Valley episodes; you're in one.

Yeah, first time I watched I was like holy shit, are they filming my life? So much they get right in that show, especially the egos and pettiness

I knew from the very first scene. Some company had just got bought so they had a big party and paid Kid Rock to play. But everybody was in polos and khakis and wanted to have quiet conversations and Kid gave up halfway through the first song.

I was at that party. It wasn't Kid Rock, but I was at that party

all the devs at work would talk about how much they love the show.

they all thought they were Bachmans, but were in reality Jareds.

I couldn't watch the show because it was too triggering to me. Imagine working on a team of Jareds...

Personally I always identified with Gilfoyle but knew deep down I was a Richard.

I've had a customer ask for me by saying "get us that guy who looks like Gilfoyle, he's the only one who seems to know what's going on."

Though I am polyamorous, have been associated with the occult, have long hair and a beard, and wear rectangular glasses, so I can understand how they'd be mistaken.
