I'm in need of a great php/mysql programmer to help me with numerous projects. I've tried to find someone good for two years, but I've run into numerous problems using off-shore workers, as well as US programmers on the web. I had a great programmer, but he took a full-time position. Now, I'm in need of someone really good who is ready to pound out some work. How can you tell if a programmer knows what they are doing when you're a non-programmer? What are the tell-tell signs that someone knows their stuff? Thanks. Jenna Ryan TheMarketingShop.com

These are the signs of a good programmer: Has a binary clock on the desktop Blood is 30% coffee. Body is 40% pizza. Is always late in the morning because shampoo says "Apply, rinse, repeat" and gets stuck in infinite loop. When he says he needs a break from the routine and doesn't take any days off.
