A documentary about geeks coding all night on MTV. Man, how the world has changed.


You could say that. Wow.

Geeks on MTV. Either this is a bubble, or things are really different this time.


I was in the not-a-bubble camp, but the Color money and then programmers on MTV have me reconsidering my position.

I know MTV is just a side effect of the movie, but still.


Agreed. I'm still confused how they are going to make this interesting to the masses... Hell, even watching Coders code as a Coder can be dull.


Easy, just focus on everything going on except the actual code, just people talking about some of the stuff they are doing at a more basic high level and how it fits into users ever day usage of the site. That and looks like the random fun going on around people doing work.


This could have easily been an April fools joke


Will this be available online?(of course it will, I mean legally) No cable/dish for me.


Hey, it's mkilgore! :D Surreal seeing people I know on the trailer.


the meek will inherit the earth
