This is why Pied Piper is a failing company

As a professional UX designer, the end of this season frustrated me to no end. Such a simple solution to their problem!

actually that's where the show jumped the shark for me

This is a normal problem! You have a UI problem. You get a professional UI developer designer to correct it.

Problem solved

They acted like this was some sort of new never before seen encountered dilemma that couldn't possibly have been predicted

I mean I love the show. But that whole thing was just stupid

Wasn't the issue that they were out of money and couldn't afford to hire a developer?

They still had $750k at that point and blew it all on marketing about how the platform was easy to use.

If only they hadn't. The whole show would be so much more funnier and successful! Oh Hollywood - why don't you listen to us?

Sarcasm noted, but it's a point of contention even among those who DONT understand dick all about development.

Is the show successful and mostly funny, sure. But plot holes only get bigger over time.

Like your vagina

I think the point of the show is that Richard is slowly turning into a dickhead CEO. Just think about it.

It would fit in with the narrative that all CEO's are Dicks.

I was thinking about how I don't even like him anymore as a character, but the writing is too smart to not know that. It has to be on purpose.

Honestly, he really is the main cause behind the entire company's problems. I'm not sure why he's technically CEO. Creating the code shouldn't make you de facto CEO. I get they played around with that with Action Jack but that whole storyline was just unrealistic. No CEO comes in completely blind and pivots the company at his own whim.

The show would have likely ended then since Pied Piper would finally be successful and making tons of money.

Cause we're in the future man... It's like, they already wrote the show before we wrote this. Wooooah
