Silicon Valley Takes Us Into The Incubator With A Hacker Hostel Tour

Just two episodes in, Mike Judge’s tech-savvy sitcom Silicon Valley is already one of the funniest shows on TV, with a pitch-perfect cast delivering wit, bro humor and satire in a single, easy-to-operate unit. A lot of this comedic magic happens inside the “incubator,” where T.J. Miller’s Erlich Bachmann houses fellow coders and programmers for a percentage of their development profits, and HBO is giving us an all-access look inside the so-called “hacker hostel,” with the show’s stars joking their way through the electronics-stuffed home. I would easily live in this place, assuming I wouldn’t need to know how to actually do anything necessary to live there.
