The trailer for Silicon Valley Season 5 has been out for a few weeks not, but it contains a hidden message you still may not have seen.

At one point in the trailer we see antagonist extraordinaire and exploiter of exotic animals Gavin Belson standing in front of a screen displaying binary code.

Becomes:

Silicon Valleyis no stranger to taking elaborate nerd jokes to their extremes, having actually employed a mathematician to write a paper on the "Optimal Tip-to-Tip Efficiency" dick-joke from Season 1.

Well played Belson, well played.
