It would also help to know the TAM(total market area). How big is the remote KVM market? That gives you an idea on how many devices it's possible to sell in a given year.
Looks like the device sells for about $400.

Or take the price tag when missing multiply by the probability of needing it over the course of one year. This is a more accurate estimate for the annual cost of not creating the backup.
The reasons are typically:
1. They are designed for a few number of users, so they can automate an internal task. The application seems complicated and uses a lot of language specific to the domain.
2. Generally under invested in. These are great learning projects for people to do, but it also means the implementation will probably be substandard. Work arounds will be discovered for the known bugs, since the users all in the same company anyway. These projects reduce OPEX/COGS, they don't directly contribute to Sales/Revenue, so they aren't as important for the company.
If you don't feel like flying today, that's fine with them. No change fees. However, sometimes they don't feel like flying either, and you also need to extend them the same courtesy.
Alternatively, start with an open source bug tracker. But offer to host it, and create improvements for it. It's been a long time, but you can set up something like bugzilla. (There's probably a more modern alternative out there).
Here's another idea. Start ups don't have a lot of money, consider receiving equity from the start up every month. Instead of a monthly rate, you receive shares every month. You will probably need a lawyer to set up this contract and there is probably a problem with this idea. I don't think you can receive ISOs, unless you are an employee, so they might have to hire you too, while they are using your bug tracking service.
- Byzantine General's Problem (Consensus in a distributed system)
- Part time Parliament (Paxos Algorithm also reaching consensus in a distributed system)
- Confused Deputy
- Gossip Protocol(Quickly spread state in a distributed system)
- Vector Clocks ( Determine a partial ordering of events in a distributed system)
Many of these concepts were given clever names given by Leslie Lamport who did a lot of Distributed Systems Research.
It also might be an easier time to hire right now.
OKRs should at least be for a period of time of one quarter. They shouldn't be changing constantly quarter over quarter. When they do change a lot, it indicates that the company is shifting strategy. Companies need to do this from time to time, but it's not a good sign if the company is doing this every quarter.
Engineering priorities shouldn't change week to week based on OKRs, because OKRs shouldn't change that frequently.
Measure What Matters by John Doerr
It shows the history of how they have worked well at some companies in the Valley. You asked one question about this and now you have to read a book. That's a shame.
At the very least it appears that not everybody has bought into the OKRs and alignment has not been achieved.
Ideally you will also partition the data, so your queries can use partitions. Athena charges $5 per terabyte of data scanned, so it's important to get this right.
Athena lets you run SQL queries on datasets in S3. You can do something similar in BQ with external tables. BQ is much faster. Athena will easily be more expensive on larger datasets, because you pay $5 per terabyte scanned.
AWS doesn't have a service similar to BQ in terms of performance.
I think the 3 main players in the Analytics space are BQ, Snowflake and Databricks.
There are a lot of people work for a big company for a while, or go into an industry, then go to a start up.
I don't have any data to show this is true, but I suspect that it is.
For example can download all of your youtube history if you want. That's part of an access request.

I initially said this to be silly, but then I went ahead and followed my own advice. I guess this is a limitation of ChatGPT.
