Finishing @[106201067632497:274:Devs]. And I keep thinking, who does Foster remind me of? Dmitry Zavalishin @[521916472:2048:Dmitry Zavalishin] and Eugene Kaspersky merged into one. Besides the nearly identical look, they all had a team that was creating something strange and semi-secret in the basement (Dmitry had a next-gen OS, Eugene focused on DDoS topics). In both cases, their ladies (at different times and to a certain extent) controlled a world populated by genius programmers. In its time, ABBYY also had a long-term project with high ambitions, but David Yan doesn’t resemble Foster (yet). What other examples come to mind? Magic Leap, who raised over $2 billion for something unclear, and where the fog was so thick that the money kept flowing?

A spin-off needs to be released in Russia!

P.S. Watching Devs is essential. It contradicts all conventions, but is incredibly engaging. There was a calm dialogue in episode six, taking place in shadow, that lasted 26 minutes – exactly half of the episode.

P.P.S. As for being science fiction, it’s so-so — it’s better not to understand the complex speeches about quantum superposition and multiverses, otherwise it becomes embarrassing for the writers.
