Yes, some of these people exist in silicon valley. But the fact that the entire cast is white, not one asian or indian, there are only a couple engineers, and they live extravagantly, they did not pick a good cross-section of what the valley is really like.

I know shameless networkers, I know wantrepreneurs, I know brogrammers (kind of am one to be honest). But seriously? the entire valley isn't like that, and this only reinforces those negative stereotypes.

You can find plenty of drama with real life experiences. We got a frivolous cease and desist letter that stressed me out for an entire day when I thought we might have to change our name, I slept on my roommates floor so I could make a few hundred dollars off my room on AirBnB during the Outside Lands weekend. My friends and family loaned me money, paid for meals, let me airbnb out their apartments for profit while they were away and gave me almost all the proceeds. Follow enough entrepreneurs and you won't need to manufacture drama and you don't need to show me searching for a semicolon in my code.

In conclusion, a wasted opportunity.
