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 we

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.

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

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.

Absolutely! This is something I've seen many people emphasize so it is something I will keep in mind for every decision I make.

I do indeed have high aspirations for my life. Given my career of choice and what I've read so far regarding other people's experience starting a SaaS, I definitely feel it can be a viable way of achieving those aspirations.

I did see "Start small, stay small" being recommended but was put off a bit by its age. But you would still recommend it today then?

Honestly, as long as the wages before tips are fair, then there's nothing wrong with tipping as a concept. Do you wish tipping as a concept would spread to all customer-facing industries?

We do not rebuild the tower of abstractions for every site that uses them. I do not personally implement React from scratch when I use it for any of my sites. I get all of the benefits for none of the effort. You do not seem to acknowledge
