Front End Engineers - We need you to make Grubwithus (YC W11) beautiful

This job offer is hilarious. I haven't seen a more appropriate use of marquee and animated gifs in ages!

Front-end engineers make things beautiful? I thought that's what designers do.

This is awesome. I literally laughed out loud at my desk, turning heads. I really really hope you get a awesome designer/front end engineer, who also has a good sense of humor :)

It's already beautiful. My God. It's glorious.

I can't articulate how much I love that they set it in centered Comic Sans.

Do I get the job? WARNING: MUSIC<p><a href="http://wonder-tonic.com/geocitiesizer/content.php?theme=1&#38;music=2&#38;url=www.grubwithus.com" rel="nofollow">http://wonder-tonic.com/geocitiesizer/content.php?theme=1&#3...</a>

I ran it through geocitiesizer; I think it looks a little better.<p><a href="http://wonder-tonic.com/geocitiesizer/content.php?theme=2&#38;music=6&#38;url=www.grubwithus.com/make-us-beautiful" rel="nofollow">http://wonder-tonic.com/geocitiesizer/content.php?theme=2&#3...</a>

You need a designer. One that can code, but that's still called a designer. I'm not sure if you can find that designer by advertising for a "frontend engineer with strong design sense".<p>Also, any good designer will balk at your request to "make it pretty". Design is not lipstick you can put on after the fact.<p>My suggestion: tell people that you're looking for a designer, and instead of "make it pretty", tell them you want to improve the user experience. Have them be involved early on. Making things pretty might be part of this job, but is not the only thing.

I for one eagerly await the release of "Grubwithus bootstrap" - which will help front end developers relive the dazzling veneer of the 1990s geocities era.

Earlier today I found a website that said "Recommended Browser: Netscape Navigator 4.04 or newer", now this... Afraid to view the source, feels like I'm disturbing an archeological excavation site.<p>"It belongs in a museum!"

I actually hope that you don't find an engineer/designer. This website is awesome, brought back many memories :)

Front end engineers are not exactly designers. Speaking as a front end engineer, I do not do design.

This made me chuckle.<p>Brilliant!

Brilliant. Just brilliant. Felt like I just found a webpage I searched for in Magellan.

Will the lucky hiree still have to design around the name 'GrubWithUs'?

Let me recall some Professor's personal website in College.

this is perfect. reminds me of my first website

Brilliant! Takes me back to the good ole days.

As a designer I must say that I would NEVER apply for this position. Your ad doesn't illicit the sentiments of a company that truly cares for or understands design.

This… is BEAUTIFUL! How did you guys do it?

what is wrong with the page it looks fine as it is to me

There are not nearly enough social buttons on this page

I don't think that means what you think it means. You want a designer.
