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."
- watty 14y agoCalling their solution "non-sucky" is an understatement.
- samstave 14y agoCan 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.
- jacquesm 14y agoNon-sucky being an understatement means "It is extremely good" as far as I understand it.
