Northvolt (oui ce Northvolt là) prépare une nouvelle génération de batterie supérieure à la lithium-ion, alors même qu’on vient de leur payer une fortune pour qu’ils bâtissent ici une usine de batteries… lithium-ion. J’espère vraiment qu’elle sera pas déjà obsolète avant de lever de terre.

I’m NOT excited about coding by AI [venting]
I’m a dev. I’ve been for a while. My boss does a lot technology watch. He brings in a lot of cool ideas and information. He’s down to earth. Cool guy.
