Well, looks like pg called it on this one.

"MAKE HARDWARE WITH NON-SUCKY SOFTWARE."

"okay"

"Here, have a billion."

Obviously, I am omitting all of the actual work for entertainment value. Edit: isn't a YC company, I don't want to confuse things.

"27. Hardware/software hybrids. Most hackers find hardware projects alarming. You have to deal with messy, expensive physical stuff. But Meraki shows what you can do if you're willing to venture even a little way into hardware. There's a lot of low-hanging fruit in hardware; you can often do dramatically new things by making comparatively small tweaks to existing stuff."

Calling their solution "non-sucky" is an understatement.

Can you elaborate?

You're saying they suck?

Can you explain exactly why... as a tech design integrator fro major clients who really like and use them - I need to know how they suck in a very specific way so I may avoid such mistakes....

wait... areyou saying they are way far above non-sucky?

Sorry the song of your people is foreign to me.

Non-sucky being an understatement means "It is extremely good" as far as I understand it.

To be fair most of their hardware started off(not sure if this is still the case) as OEM networking boards, they weren't venturing into the depths of maintaining signal integrity, verifying multiple revisions of hardware, and other electrical testing.
