We're a development team of about 20 working on applications for small and big companies such as the Deutsche Bahn. We develop using Django and React, striving for a clean API between backend and frontend. On the backend, we've been using Django exclusively since starting out in 2007. Needless to say, we know our way around Django...
Currently we're looking for a backend developer at an intermediate level. See the jobs description here: https://www.jonasundderwolf.de/jobs/) or send me an email directly at "jvp" on our domain.
One note, however: our language around the office is German so you would need basic fluency or a willingness to learn.

Absolutely - I've learned this the hard way and it's giving me new appreciation for phone calls.
It's amazing how many people do _not_ remember that an email chain of several hundred pages _will_ contain something incriminating or embassaring if forwarded to someone outside the original circle of recipients.
Not to forget that WWII was a war won by oil. Whoever was able to mobilize the most energy (in the form of oil) could win (a great book about that: Oil, Power and War[0]). Retooling in the face of declining energy availability will be a different matter.
Diesel, fuel oil and coal. Admittedly, the latter mostly goes through a power plant to turn into electricity first - with the concomitant losses on the way.
You're making a big assumption that simply doesn't hold: it's not a matter of "let's switch to renewables and keep everything else the same". Fossil fues have an energy density that's unparalleled anywhere else in nature and most renewables are simply riding off of that (the machines, factories, trucks and ships producing and transporting wind towers and solar cells are not and won't be running on electricity). Read up on EROEI (energy returned on energy invested) if you're interested in the topic.
I just read a calculation how automatic milking machines will turn a tidy profit on milk into a loss with energy costs per kwh just 10 cents higher. Milking by hand will be _more_ profitable with that small a difference.
So it's controversial because doing something about climate change involves massive changes to our way of life. Not simply switching your SUV for a Tesla, we're talking up to and including economic collapse and deindustrialization.
