We're 2 developers with more than 8 years of working with Rails stack. You'll get full-stack Rails development, including Dev Op work for a very reasonable rate.

25. Uber for food

We're working on that right now at munchery.com

Emailed. I lost contact with you some time ago, but we were always wondering when the service would become publicly available. Glad to hear it's coming soon!

Perhaps I wasn't clear. Collecting email addresses is fine, but make sure you're really getting people who are genuinely interested in your product. My point is that people shouldn't focus on hoarding emails. The focus should be on testing certain message, certain angle of the product, whether they like the future vision, etc...

I used to do what you did too. Pure PHP without frameworks projects always grow unmaintainable. At least go with a framework like CodeIgniter. Rails is great too if you prefer Ruby (which I do).

Wow, thank you everyone for the incredible responses and support. I'm really glad people found the post useful.

I didn't link to Munchery because I intended to write something to help future interviewees, not to promote the company. But it's really encouraging that people seem to like the idea :)

I don't see why you can't just work on your idea while in college. Would be far better than dropping out while there's nothing to show for it.

Investing in people over their ideas is always advisable. But let's not forget how brilliant people can still fail. Tons of bright kids come out of MIT, Harvard, Stanford, etc... Should you blindly invest in all of them?

Instead, I prefer Mark Suster's "invest in lines, not dots" strategy. You really have to spend more time to have a better idea on whether you should invest.

In hindsight, of course Drew Houston would be a good investment.

Definitely. We're continually signing up new chefs and try to get the Bay Area covered soon. I'll keep you posted.

Also, if you know any chefs, do refer them to us, we'll get them up and running.

Hi Mike. The way we solve that problem is by having fixed price per meal for each chef.

Give us some time and we'll open it up to other areas too. Meanwhile we've love any chef leads you have. What's your email? (Mine is in my HN profile)

I'd suggest doing at least email-based registration. Email is still the most common form of communication online. Although a lot of people have Twitter accounts, there aren't as many power users as email.
