Liked Silicon Valley
I just uh rewatched Silicon Valley that I hadn't watched a number of times. And it's um it's painful because like the first few seasons, I went through almost every one of those moments in my first startup. Uh like hiring the gray-haired CEO, the funding falling through at the last second, like all the crazy stuff. Uh, but kind of going back and watching that, I like there's just some extra nuances and stuff that I feel like they wrote really well

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
