The creator, Mike Judge, was actually a Silicon Valley software engineer, albeit very briefly and in the 80s. That’s where some of the ideas for Office Space came from as well.

My take is that it’s accurate enough. They touch on thing a that are real and then blow them out of proportion for humor.

the author of this book worked at github for years. She's not an outsider.

Saw that too and was worried folks would think I was implying otherwise, like GP. Just commenting on Judge.
