Silicon Valley - sales and product

Clips from Silicon Valley, season 3, episode 2

Tinny audio quality b/c I used my internal mic

Love how a sales guy on his first day already has another guy "shadowing" him!

“We identified ALL of our underlying issues”

That’s when knew this was fictional and could not harm me

The CEO sitting in for 30 seconds is so true to life. "oh I care enough to show up but not enough to actually listen to anything past the first slide"

[jgrosch]

I've been in more than a few of those meetings. It makes you want to go out to the parking lot and set their cars on fire. Their reaction would be to form a focus group to decide how they feel about their cars being on fire.

I work in tech in Silicon Valley and I can confirm this is exactly how every meeting with the sales teams go.

"I'm using it as a rhetorical example of a bad idea. That's f***ing stupid."
This quote lives rent free in my head.

[pritishsai]

Who wants to bet that Gilfoyle was responsible for the foreigner image?

[ldfashined]

I work at a large tech company and I can attest that the series is more of a documentary than it is fiction.

Bill Gates who served as a consultant for the show said that many of his friends in Silicon Valley (the place) don’t watch the show because it’s too real and they don’t enjoy the parodying that much. Bill Gates himself is a big fan.

[AndorranStairway]

This isn’t even an exaggeration. Sales people literally talk and behave like this 100%

[CheesyDoesItCooking]

all of this is accurate except in my world, they already sold the box and we're having a meeting on how i can deliver the box within a week

[oswaldcm]

... and foreigners.
that had me rolling on the floor laughing so hard.

[Lcarter]

poor dinesh. dude just wanted some coconut water and got tagged as a 'FOREIGNER'

[christyag]

Can’t agree more! I’m a technical architect but always call myself a developer. Whenever we meet with sales team, they always introduce with their exact long roles and regions lol so true

[malighos]

What I learned as a software engineer is never tell sales what you might work on or they will sell not implemented features and force you to implement shit that might even be bad.

[wickandde]

Lost my shit seeing Dinesh's confused face pop up on the "...and foreigners" part 😂

[crylove]

Richard - DON'T do the box, it's the worst idea ever possible
The team - The box it is

[robhodges]

"I'm using it as a rhetorical example of a bad idea!" Incredible line lmao

[clasmata]

Rumour has it he is still shadowing Keith.

[JoeyVSupreme]

The irony that The Box was Richard’s nightmare and Galvin and Jack’s dream, which led to their downfall and ultimately Richard (and the gang)’s success. What phenomenal story telling.
