Accompanied by bad acting and writing

If it's even that. Most of the time it's non-nonsensical gibberish.
- I was watching a show recently where someone was writing code, and it was actually C++ code. I actually did the exact pose in the meme.
  Of course, he was writing it inhumanly fast, and he always seemed to be writing the start of a new file. But I liked that it was actually code and not just The Matrix-style jibberish
  
  When I made a short film about an AI I was writing C# into visual studio as my coding. It was actual video game code that was for something like AI pathfinding or something, so I tried to make it somewhat accurate.
  Not sure why movies can't spend a grand on a programing consultant to actually write them some hacking-ish code for the scenes.
  
  My guess is that they just don't care to spend the time on it when the majority of people wouldn't even notice. But of course those of us that would notice would really appreciate it.
  As a guitar player, it equally irritates me when the person "playing" the guitar has clearly never touched a guitar in their life. Similarly, when an actor is actually playing it, I really appreciate it.
  Off topic, but I once walked in while my wife was watching some anime where the guitars were all extremely accurate, like down to what tuning pegs they would have had for the era the guitars were from. They must have motion captured all of the guitar playing from when they recorded the music, or at least took video of their hands, because they animated it perfectly. Down to the tapping parts and everything. It was jaw dropping. I made her start the whole show over from episode one so I could watch it.
  
  What's the name of the show, though?
  
  The music anime was called Given. I highly recommend the first season, but they followed it up with a movie that I didn't like at all.
  
  The show Mr. Robot did that, they used real 0-day exploits for their hacking scenes!
  
  They were actually hacking rival TV show producers in real-time. (This is a lie)
  
  I thought I heard somewhere that these screenwriters as like an inside joke try to top each other on how ridiculously incorrect they can make their hacking scenes.
  
  Sounds like hackertyper.net
  
  That's likely exactly what it was.
