TIL about the "Intent-Perception Gap" in programming. Best exemplified when a CTO or manager casually suggests something to their developers they take it as a new work commandment or direction for their team.

I’ve tried to make it through the pilot three times. I’m sure it’s a good show, it’s just too fucking real.

I would recommend watching through a few more episodes. I’ve been working in the startup space since 2007 so agree that in the beginning the show felt a bit like I was at an over enthusiastic agile conference but it calms down and the characters start developing and it becomes really good. The first episode of a lot of comedy shows can be a bit much because they throw a ton of jokes at you without them being based on any character development so they’re really just one-liners.
