I have extensive experience finding, hiring, training, and firing programmers. Mainly Indians - here is the deal - you need to learn a little code, how to read it - not write it - you watch what they are are doing and educate yourself about what scripts cause what actions in your websites. This way you know if what they are doing for you is worth what you are paying them. And you can train other programmers to pick up where they left off.

If you wanted to build a hot rod and hired a car builder - but knew nothing about cars - you would get taken to the cleaners. Code is no different.

Also, many people will say that Indian Programmers suck - they are fools. I have a programmer for 8 bucks an hour that is more brilliant than most $75 an hour americans - and reliable, and I trust him with the most sensitive servers.

However - many Indians are very unreliable and will work slow and disappear on you. You have to go though many duds to find that gem - trust me it's well worth the effort.
