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.

The email that made him angry reminds me of this youtube classic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uraG-z0grkc

He was detained in a room. I am pretty sure there was a printer nearby and they could give him those documents in writing.

When I interviewed with apple they said pretty much everything they do is proprietary and considered secret. I imagine for some of these people working there for years it would be hard to avoid breaking nda
