Great line.
A Pied Piper Tweet appeared in my Twitter feed. Clicked on it and then read Jared's bio. So funny. Can't find the link, but basically they built a fake Pied Piper corp site.
this one?

Yes, here is his bio
Jared’s early life is best passed over, but he managed to rise above it thanks to a series of largely well-meaning foster parents, and went on to receive a B.A. from Vassar College in Economics. During those too-soon-over happiest of years, he was proud to sing second alto with the “Joyce Carol Notes A Capella Confrontation.“ At Vassar he was also coxswain for Women’s Heavyweight Crew, writer and assistant stage manager of the opera “American HerStory XX,” and co-founder of Take Back “Take Back the Night.” After graduation, he worked for Google and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi before becoming a a director of special projects at Hooli, working closely with CEO Gavin Belson, before moving to Pied Piper in 2014.

See, I always thought Hooli was a parody of Google. Isn't Google the only major tech company not featured in the opening credits?

I think Hooli is obviously a google parody, but it exists in the same universe. Google is in the opening sequence.

It did. I hope this is the start of some competency by the characters. I don't know if I can handle another season of Richard just constantly making mistakes.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Stephen Tobolowsky was great again in the premiere. Hopefully moving to the basement doesn't mean a diminished role.

I thought the same thing. He shouldn't really have a sub-plot. He should just remain the weird dude Ehrlich trades barbs with.
