Honestly, the README leaves something to be desired for a billion dollar company.

Probably some product manager pushed back on security considerations raised by engineers.

How was interviewing back when the bubble burst in the early 2000s?

Was it anywhere near as bad as it is now?

Tell HN: HP Smart Printers

_RPM — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 13:05:38 +0000

i'm seriously questioning the intelligence of the people in charge of HP printers, "Smart" printers that Do Not Work.

It's absurd to need an "app" to be able to print on your own network. the printer is completely broken, and does not work the standard way of clicking print on your desktop or laptop.

honestly, how does a company like HP stay in business with these horribly hostile and BAD products?

to make it worse, they collect and analyze all "cloud printed" documents and share the data with marketers.

Ask HN: Built a PaaS and have revenue of $500 per month, what do I do next?

_RPM — Thu, 06 Jan 2022 06:05:01 +0000

I'd like your advice on what I should do next. I have built a very small business from nothing, and I'm doing $500 per month now.

I am profitable but it's nothing to write home about. This last quarter I made relationships with bigger clients and they're going to be doing a lot of business this quarter which will increase my $500 per month revenues.

Ideally I want to have this business sustain me and my wife, but I'm not there yet. What should I do next?
