Personally, I felt HCF was a much better reflection of the tech industry compared to Silicon Valley. While I love both shows to death, I feel HCF really nailed a lot of the emotional and interpersonal aspects that come with entrepreneurship, venture capital, and engineering leadership. It was also great watching HCF with my dad who started his career during the tail end of the show, and could call out a number of the technical aspects (eg. PBXes, the COBOL vs OOP wars, the search engine wars, etc). | ||

Some of it drove me a little nuts, like s4's insistence on using Sun workstations everywhere but showing MS Windows or NeXT software running on them. Yes I know x86 boards were available but people weren't buying $30k computers just to run software designed for $3k computers. | ||

yup. I was in tech in Dallas in the 80s and early 90s before chasing the money to sili Valley. I laughed for weeks at the short vignettes of Donna talking about and dealing with Texas Instrudlements management. They got it SPOT ON. Even the guy wearing the 3 piece suit interviewing Donna on her way out. | ||
