But by-and-large, the reaction that I’ve heard from coders who come up to me specifically is that they’ve worked with someone who is a lot like Gilfoyle, which makes me feel like I’m doing something right. Starr: It’s the ones that have the most success! They tend to be driven in a different way than like the coders. But once in awhile you’ll meet these type A guys. When you meet like an aggro-Silicon Valley person, it’s so interesting because most tech people aren’t that confrontational. But once in awhile when you meet those guys, it really leaves an impression on you because they’re so funny and so weird. Most people come up and are like "oh it feels like my work." It’s really validating that the community we’re depicting seems to have embraced it, which is really nice. Woods: I mean, by and large, people are lovely.

I don’t think that’s unique to Silicon Valley.Ĭarson: So do you have a more positive or a more negative view of startups now that you’ve been satirizing them for years now? Which is definitely true of our industry as well.
