Well this is certainly a great idea as we've since with the launch of https://iamexec.com/ You should aggressively pursue the London market. Good luck.

ZeroCater - San Francisco, CA - Software Engineers, Lead Software Engineer Come help us feed the world! ZeroCater is a team of foodies working together to help companies feed their employees. We're looking to expand our small engineering team to tackle hard problems and build awesome things. Our stack is a pretty typical Python/Django stack running on AWS. Experience with these specific technologies is not required, as long as you can learn fast and ship product. Some challenges we're facing at the moment: - Automatically creating and sizing menus to fit a company's dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten-free, allergies, "I don't like onions"). - Matching vendors to companies that are compatible in terms of budget, distance, and dietary restrictions, while ensuring variety from day to day. - Scheduling one-off meals without heavy account manager involvement. - Scaling our platform to keep up with our growing business. We're cash flow positive and backed by investors like: - Y Combinator - SV Angel - Justin Kan - Paul Buchheit - Keith Rabois - Yuri Milner (in addition to the start fund money) We offer: - Competitive salary - Stock options - Daily lunch from the best local restaurants, caterers, food trucks, and popup kitchens - Health, Vision, Dental Insurance - Team-building activities like wine tastings and cooking classes - 5 hours of your very own Executive Assistant through EXEC (http://iamexec.com/) for personal use each month - Fine Alcohol Fridays and Reginald the…

Hey Alaska, I'm Jesse, one of the co-founders of Dev Bootcamp (http://devbootcamp.com). Happy to answer any questions here or via email ([email protected]). Here are some employer-centric things worth reading, from companies that have hired our grads. Exec (http://iamexec.com/blog/your-credentials-are-worthless-here) TapJoy (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4414594) From a fall student now at Ouya (http://dmragone-at-dbc.tumblr.com/post/39338810976/thank-you-dev-bootc… I don't want to hijack this thread, so happy to talk here or elsewhere if you're interested!

They're delivering things like groceries, I assume they're similar to exec (https://iamexec.com/) but specific to delivery. It's just "some guy" hired by Instacart to pick up groceries and then deliver them when they're told to, no trucks needed, bicycles or cars would be fine.

You can get your pharmacy orders picked up in SF by Exec (http://iamexec.com). In California your assistant only needs your name, address and phone number to get your prescribed medications.

In case anyone didn't notice the link in the post, here's EXEC's current website: https://iamexec.com/

Am I the only one that gets slightly annoyed when people redesign a Web site without being solicited? I understand redesigns like this are part of practice for a designer, but sometimes I feel like these designs are "I don't like yours, mine is better," when design can be such a subjective thing. I don't really see a benefit, for example, in his redesign of EXEC: Before: https://iamexec.com/ After: http://kyrobeshay.com/post/20746111679/yc-facelift-exec I actually think the redesign looks worse. Is there a tangible benefit here design-wise that I'm just simply not smart enough to grasp? I find it ironic, by the way, that I'm so vehemently against rhetoric that decries skinning Bootstrap without design sense (as in that prior thread), but finding myself defending an obvious Bootstrap here as looking better. I can't connect with the feeling because I'm not a designer, but in code, if I wrote something one way and someone else rewrote it just because they like their way better, then showed it around to get buy-in, I'd be a little annoyed. If there was a tangible benefit like faster runtime, or better maintainability, that's one thing, but just because of preference? That annoys me. Maybe it's different between our lines of work.

Here's a more convincing copy of theirs from EXEC: http://iamexec.com/house-cleaning/san-francisco vs https://www.homejoy.com/house-cleaning-san-francisco mirror: http://i.imgur.com/OAH1tg2.jpg Yelp permanently banned them from advertising for buying reviews, and one of the major deal sites is considering it. And they just continue to be stupid. A fancy, potentially sustainable version of your typical daily deal scam.

https://iamexec.com/mobile the icon is low res on high dpi mobile. But seriously, the post is super encouraging and helpful, however many mistakes there are on their website.

https://iamexec.com/feed look at the left and right margins of the items in the center column, they are way off.

off topic, but i can't help but note the irony of a company that claims to not care about credentials, but under the "meet our execs" section shows a helper who is a BA graduate of claremont mckenna. https://iamexec.com/meet_our_execs the company may not care about credentials for hiring, but for marketing purposes at least they are creating the illusion that their menial helpers are in fact credentialed. further off topic - it's a little depressing to me to see the "high tech" cradle of silicon valley creating a service to organize menial labor. wow, house cleaning online is sexy? i must be dreaming, is it 1999 again?

It kinda looks like that is standard procedure for them: https://iamexec.com/feed The possibly fairly detailed job descriptions apparently go through the company and are then assigned to the person doing the job, so it seems fairly plausible that someon at dispatch went "oh, that could be a good PR opportunity" and asked for more details.
