I loved that show. The love that went into it really shows.

Sadly the gap between reality and satire has shrunk.

But yes. I also wish that show would come back.

The gap between reality and satire was apparently already very small back when the the show was written. The creator, Mike Judge (who also created Beavis & Butthead, and Idiocracy) had worked in Silicon Valley as a developer and based the show on what he saw. Apparently it was very popular with SV insiders precisely because it was so accurate.
