Gilfoyle didn't get a lot to do this episode, but holy shit, that line blew my hair back.

That's accurate. He's the heart and soul of the team as well. I'm glad he's just not some random weirdo and has been well assimilated into the fabric of the show. Any crew worth its shit needs someone as damaged and untainted as he is to keep itself honest.

Which makes it exactly like the real Silicon Valley. Trust me on that one.

I think the Office character wanted to be more mean-spirited, but he always just kinda came off as a creepy obsessive weirdo instead. By the time the show was about over, he was basically the same character as Jared, but nowhere near as well-written or acted.

Yeah, and why don't they ever show any of them going to the bathroom?

Emmy? That chubby motherfucker needs to EGOT.

Did you really think they'd use a dead fucking elephant? Start paying your shrink more.

"To which contemptible asshole did you think I was referring?"

All of this is goddamned awful. But more importantly, what the fuck is a boutique horror soundtrack?

Fried potatoes and gasoline.

He might want to get it to the people, but only on his ridiculously convoluted terms. Head, meet wall.

No, I didn't. You're missing mine. The number of 'tech-savvy' people in the world who would get and understand the app has to be remarkably smaller than the number of average people that any app has to be marketable to in order to succeed. Did you not see the GUI? I think of myself as tech-savvy, and after five

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't true. People had a hard enough time setting their VCRs. Is this show supposed to make the jump of making us believe that the average person is going to understand a wildly complex app about file compression? That's the joke, and if you think about it, it's actually

Because Richard is too far up his own ass to see that he needs to make this thing for regular people, not engineers. What it comes down to, really. None of these idiot savants know shit about marketing.

Just make the GUI idiot-proof. That's it. Done.

SHUT UP NERD!

It's Lyft that has moustaches. The only moustaches Uber has are in handlebar form on the faces of the drivers.

Because once they download the app and realize they don't have the slightest clue how to use it, they uninstall it. They might not have to do any clicky-clicky on the app itself once they download it and have it installed, but if it's not on their device anymore, that's one less DAU. Or hundreds of thousands less

Exactly. Put that shit in Advanced Settings or whatever if you want, but to have it be required like they had it is silly.

People aren't going to stick around and use a platform that is ridiculously complex to use. As Pipey put it, 'It's just six clicks away!' People like one-click shit that they barely have to think about. Did you see that GUI? Ridiculous. Change the fucking GUI so that people think they're pressing a big red shiny
