Has anyone ever used QR codes on the business cards or store doors? It seems like a waste of space, you need to have a special app on your phone to read it. I think most people don't use that.

I don't understand. What was the lie?
I believe he means when he responded "Yes" to the final question (as in "Yes, I have the PDF file for the business card"), he was lying and had nothing. So he quickly searched SO and found what he needed. Sometimes, that's just what Stack Overflow is there for: a quickly accessible CYA!
Looks nice but: Hex colors don't map to CMYK at all. Your printer may be able to use a non-CMYK color using a special ink but that may cost more. There are no crop marks or bleed. You'll want to add them.

The front side design is very tolerant of inherent printing tolerances, but the backside design is poor (in that it will highlight, rather than hide, the inherent tolerances in cutting). The human eye can readily see the difference in thickness of the white border. A far more tolerant design would take the green fill all the way to the edge. It's not the end of the world to have the backside of your business card have slightly uneven margins, but if you're equally happy with a full fill (and you bleed it beyond the cut lines), you'll never end up with a visibly bad cut.

Hell I think it's just barely hanging on in acedamia
That's definitely not the case in computer science and electrical engineering at least. LaTeX definitely isn't great, but I don't see a viable alternative.

Those particular RGB colors map well into the CMYK gamut and will be readily printed by any competent printer using a 4-color process. https://support.dma.ucla.edu/help/tutorials/print_color_guid... has more information on the two color spaces' overlap.

Otherwise agreed on all points. Nice post!
If you're going to go through all the trouble of typesetting a business card in LaTeX, you really ought to use Computer Modern Roman so that folks know you typeset it in LaTeX. (Related; resumes in CMR always have +10 credibility.)

As an iOS user, I always assumed QR code reading was just built into Android's camera app. Is that not so?
The AOSP camera app does not support QR code reading, and neither does Google's camera app. Many Android phones will have one or both of these installed. Most phones also come with a manufacturer-specific camera app. I know new-ish Motorola phones will read QR codes, and I suspect that the "kitchen sink" vendors like Samsung would as well.
