HBO’s Silicon Valley season 4 ended a few weeks ago. And there will be a season 5 in 2018. This was not the best one but I still like it. In the last episode, our heroes struggle and meditate…

What a pleasure to meet again the heroes of HBO’s Silicon Valley. Yet the first two episodes are quite caricatural. First all the hot technologies from the region are mentioned: robotics, virtual reality and artificial intelligence. Failure is an important component, and does not have exactly the same consequences for everyone. Of course, the episodes […]

You may prefer the nerds to the lawyers in the last episodes of Silicon Valley’s Season 2.

Now that they have money, our heroes need to spend it. Will they follow the “team” structure of Episode 1 when hiring: “There is always a tall skinny white guy, a short skinny asian guy, a fat guy with a ponny tail, some guy with crazy facial hair, and then an east indian guy.” Unclear […]
