Comment on How Mike Judge and Co. Are Turning "Silicon Valley" Into the Next "Spinal Tap"parent

It's funny that you use "make the world a better place" -- that's one of the specific phrases (and attitudes) the show makes fun of.

"We're making the world a better place. By constructing elegant hierarchies for maximum code reuse and extensibility."

"Making the world a better place. Through minimal message-oriented transport layers."

Yes, I'm aware of the show's mockery of good intentions. Few (or no) actual startups actually use language so wildly specific; when they say they want to make the world a better place, they generally cite the intent of the startup rather than specifics of the technology — which makes this attempt at satire fall flat on its face.
