Rewatching Silicon Valley: Dinesh and Gilfoyle boast most emptily

I first watched Silicon Valley on DVD months after the episodes first ran on HBO. Even back then, I noticed details that don't quite add up when compared to real life software development. But there were also details which the show got right but I failed to notice because they flew by so fast. There's an example of this in the Season 1 episode "The Cap Table," in which Gilfoyle (Martin Starr) and Dinesh (Kumail Nanjiani) justify their worth to Pied Piper founder Richard (Thomas Middleditch) and eventual CFO Jared (Zach Woods), each with the hope of getting more equity in the company than the other.
