Just finished the season, pretty easily the worst season of the show yet. It's still entertaining obviously, but I would call the writing flat out bad this season. I hope they change up the formula next year; I think not having SV right after Game of Thrones exposed the writing. After the intensity of a GoT episode all I wanted to do was have a laugh at a Silicon Valley episode, absurdity of the plot or not.
The overanalyzation in this thread made me chuckle though. People talking about some type of dynamic between Erlich and Jin Yiang. It was literally just Jin Yiang pissing Erlich off and Erlich screaming his name in vengeance; there wasn't some insane character chemistry or anything. The writers will have plenty of opportunities to continue beating the dead horse with Jin Yiang even without Erlich, I wouldn't worry about that.
I did thoroughly enjoy how they wrote Erlich off the show though.
