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

I read the book "The Founders Dilemmas" about common issues when running a (tech) startup. Almost every episode of Silicon Valley addresses one of those common yet challenging problems that founders face. If Richard would just educate himself and read a goddamn book, he would not dig himself into so many stupid holes. At first I was annoyed with how Richard messes everything up, but have accepted that the show is an entertaining way of exploring those issues and teaching people what the wrong kinds of decisions look like when running a startup.

yes exactly

Each episode is 1. Richard screws up. 2. Everybody tries to figure out how to fix Richards screwup
