Yeah... the thing is, if you find a good programmer.. you have to realize that you're not the only person in the world who's found him/her. Others have to, and being "good" means that the programmer is going to be busy and is likely doing a lot of work.
Infact, a half way decent programmer has almost 0 time for having a real life as it is, much less a good one. They tend to be at their computer 24/7.
So don't be too let down if you find a good programmer and they're not available the second time around.
If you find someone who's great and you want to ensure you can count on them to be there for you and only you... hire them.
