Jared seemed pretty up on the PUA lingo re: "negging", hmmmm.

That was such a great callback joke, just killer.

I got introduced to this show a week ago and binged the gently caress out of it (I work in hardware engineering, the box stuff was especially great)

Also just set your text editor to convert tabs to spaces so you use the tab key and get 4 spaces. I originally got into using spaces just because I would have to open up code using other people's editors and they'd have their tab widths set all sort of loving nonsense like 8 character width so just using spaces kept it consistent.

The thing that struck me as odd with Slack is that everything is logged on their servers which must mean a potential bonanza for any litigation discoveries. I read that was their model anyway, somewhere.

I also love how you kept thinking Gavin and Jack were going to end up taking the same private jet to ~J-Hole~, but Judge had to work in that jab at the 0.001%.

That was awesome. I was missing Action Jack prior to this episode and it was just perfect. "J-Hole"

Jared mimicking Richard's movements while they were both on the top bunk bed was hilarious... and when he followed his falling backwards move and banged his head, that's what killed me.

Jared had a great so, his puppy dog window look when Richard was getting in the car was also great.

And the "don't weaponize my love for the company to use against me" line.

Not to diss our wedding, but this episode ending on Blue Flowers was the best moment in my life.

It was great, plus your wedding probably didn't have Richard wandering up to Gavin's compound wearing mismatched shoes :haw:

Kool Keith is criminally underrated and incredibly prolific.

As an engineer the brainstorming solutions to the room jerking off scene was so incredibly accurate it was almost painful. I have worked with some incredibly obsessive problem solvers no matter the effort to improve a process/program/product even the tiniest amount. It can be in things no way related to the job or even their technical background.

The rest of society should be glad for tech companies and silicon valley in particular because it keeps these folks away from the normies.

I want to know Richard's views on text editors that convert tab keypresses to spaces. It seemed like he was bothered by the tap tap tap of spacebar so perhaps that is ok.

Tab widths vary from editor to editor but if you always indent by 3 or 4 spaces then it will stay consistent!

I feel a more important thing is shunning people who save code and check it in with windows line endings. gently caress those people.

He specifically argued that spaces bloat file sizes, and as a compression specialist, that really bothered him.

I must have missed that, but really compressing runs of 3/4 spaces won't make a difference over tabs I would think, but then I am not a compression specialist.

Also, the explicit mention that he didn't use a condom sets up a completely unfunny "the lady at the VC firm find out she's pregnant and Richard gets all ~wacky~ again because he thinks he's the father" arc.

Jared flat out explaining Gilfoyle's motivations to Richard only made me realize I want to see Gilfoyle knocked off his high horse more.

Like, have him realize he's just like Dinesh.

Yeah Jian Yang will definitely win and then he spells Gilfoyle's name wrong for the coup de grace.

Jared really is the best regular on the show, I agree with y'all. They can mine his backstory for pathos mixed with hilarity so effortlessly.

Hopefully, there is a San Jose Sharks appearance before the series wraps up. We've already had the SF Giants on in addition to the Warriors.

The gang plays a game of hockey at the shark tank vs VCs for funding and Gilfoyle being Canadian is a hockey savant. Of course it is really Middleditch who would be because he is actually a canook :canada:
