Beavis and Butt-Head was created by the American animator Mike Judge. He graduated with a degree in physics but struggled to connect with his work in computer science.

    I dunno about that, I think any of the hard sciences have a lot of crossover with computing. It generally rewards the curious, patient and methodical.

    Maybe it was just the cultural fit? Silicon Valley is certainly keenly observed 😉

      He didn’t struggle to connect his degrees to computer science. He did not enjoy his work (struggled to connect to it) and is why he started messing with animation.

      Yes, Silicon Valley is partly inspired by his life experience. Office Space far more so.

      I think I’ve read before that it was in fact the Silicon Valley environment that he disliked. Can’t blame him; it’s a toxic, incestuous little world.

      I agree, college is a scam and nobody should go to college.

      (I’m still sending my kids to college, what you think I want them to be poors? Lol)
