This doesn't really follow the usual battery scam pattern, does it?

Like, EEStor or Nikola with big claims, timelines pushed years out, raise a ton of money, delay forever. Donut announced at CES and said bikes ship Q1 2026 which is weeks from now. They've raised ~€25M total (QuantumScape has burned through $1.5B+). And apparently they're not doing a big fundraise right now either.

If it's a scam it seems like a really bad strategy? You're basically setting a timer on your own credibility.

I've been reading around and the thing I keep landing on is the Nordic Nano connection. They're a Finnish nanotech company Donut invested in, and they published specs for a "bipolar electrostatic capacitor" with basically identical numbers - 400 Wh/kg, 100k cycles, fireproof. Does anyone with more battery knowledge know if this could be some kind of supercapacitor hybrid being marketed as a solid-state battery? The VTT report confirms fast charging works but doesn't say anything about energy density, cycle life, or what this thing actually is.

Seems like the energy density and cycle life reports (supposedly coming in the next few weeks) are going to be way more interesting than this one.

I'm surprised no one here has mentioned around.co yet. They've had this feature for years which was the main reason our team has been using it. Good to see other services catching up.

Just want to heap on with the praise here and say that this was definitely the best experience I've had with any tool trying to add monitoring for a Next.js full-stack application. The Client Sessions tab where I, out of the box, can correlate front-end actions and back-end operations for a particular user is especially nice.

Great job!

Where and how does one get 1000 euro/day as a DevOps Engineer?

Have you tried sanity.io (a headless CMS)? I used it in conjunction with Gatsby and have had a great experience overall.

It doesn't have to be scalable when it only has to work once.

Thank you! If I may ask, how did you go about finding a mentor to help you on your journey?

Hmm, then I must have come off wrong. That being my final goal does not mean that I care less for what I do. I try to find meaning in my every day work by optimizing for the value I create for the end user and can not be less motivated than when I only work on something because "I have to" or it "being the only way".

That's a wonderful way to put it. I will definitely check out his comments. Thank you!

Thank you for your insight, it is great to get to hear from someone in the trenches and an "average SAAS Joe" as you call it. The keyword in my opening statement is "eventually" as I do understand the need to hustle initially, potentially for a long time. When work is fun it is no longer work, as someone smart once said. What is hard to motivate for me is doing all that work for (mostly) someones else gain and for a product that I personally wouldn't work on on my own time, like I do now in my day to day. Thanks again!

Thank you! I've seen that youtube video previously and it was exactly the kind of advice I was looking for. I will put "The Mom Test" at the top of my list as I've seen many recommendations of it elsewhere too.
