For those in tech in the Bay Area, Silicon Valley doesn't just hit home — it is home.

Season one is set to wrap up on May 25, and the similarities between Mike Judge's version and the real thing are piling up. From the man behind satire like Idiocracy and Office Space, Silicon Valley follows a group of young entrepreneurs trying to build the next big tech startup with a ridiculous name: Pied Piper. And it's pretty spot on. Stanford grads galore, sky-high-paid Googlers (and Facebookers and Applers), and startups that come and go faster than your springtime allergies.
