i am pretty sure its not energy that domaines the move. eg skoda is now way more profitable than rest of VW. The cost of employment is way higher in DE..

I tried it and its definetely not mature enough for me. Too cumbersome to use. But the project speaks to me.

Yes but for that you need to focus on the quality. There are probably horrible issues on backend as well.

this gets repeated over and over again but its false:
> Nuclear power plants are routinely used in load following mode on a large scale in France, although "it is generally accepted that this is not an ideal economic situation for nuclear stations".[42] Unit A at the now decommissioned German Biblis Nuclear Power Plant was designed to modulate its output 15% per minute between 40% and 100% of its nominal power.

not really. Most of the technology is not black box but something of a grey box. You usually choose to treat it as a black box because you want to focus on your problems/your customers but you can always focus on underlying technologies and improve them. Eg postgresql for me is a black box but if I really wanted or had need I could investigate how it works.

Waypoint AI | Senior Backend, Fullstack, Frontend | Prague + REMOTE (CZ) | Full-time | Equity
We're building Chip — an AI support engineer that autonomously triages, routes, and resolves complex technical support cases. Think: a teammate that reads every Jira ticket, every Intercom thread, and every runbook, then actually acts on them.
Czech-American B2B startup, raised $3.1M. Already in production with Volvo, ClickHouse, and others.
We're a small eng team where early architectural decisions still matter. We use AI daily as a collaborator (Claude Code) — not as a gimmick, but because it genuinely makes us faster. We value craft, ownership, and shipping in small slices.
Stack: Django + Django Ninja, Postgres, Dramatiq (background jobs), React/Next.js/TypeScript/Tailwind.
Hiring for three roles:
Senior Backend Engineer (AI Systems) — Own APIs, data pipelines, and durable workflows. LLM product experience (evals, cost/latency, vector search) is a plus. https://mywaypoint.ai/open-positions/senior-backend-engineer...
Fullstack Engineer — Backend-heavy with enough frontend to be dangerous. End-to-end ownership from schema to UI. https://mywaypoint.ai/open-positions/fullstack-engineer
Frontend Developer — Build interfaces that make complex AI feel simple. React/Next.js/TS/Tailwind. Product-minded, not just pixel-pushing. https://mywaypoint.ai/open-positions/frontend-developer
Office in Prague 7 (Holešovice), remote-friendly. Competitive CZ-market comp + meaningful equity.
To apply: [email protected] — include a project you shipped end-to-end and how you use AI tooling in your workflow. Mention HN.

I honestly don't like that this is expressed as a comment but I guess it makes the implementation easy and backwards compatible...

There is a good scifi "Jumping Off the Planet" by David gerrold about space elevators if you have not read it yet.
