It was comedy, and I took it as such. The writers did a good job of poking fun at Silicon Valley while making relatable characters. I can't speak to its accuracy, since I haven't worked in Silicon Valley for a long time.

What did you think of it?

The author of the book had more experience in Silicon Valley than the creators of Silicon Valley did...

I haven't lived/worked in SV, but have hated my limited experiences dealing with the culture there.

I have been told (and seen many times on HN) that the show is closer to a documentary than a satire. That's anecdata, obviously.

It reminds me of the (satirical) show Veep, which had to rewrite an entire season because it was too similar to what the actual US White House had done.
