I’m seeing and hearing that it’s becoming tough finding good developers again, at least here in Los Angeles. On Friday, at the LA CTO Forum , I heard from a couple of CTOs having trouble finding good developers. Do you have anyone you could recommend to me, or any resources? Perfect timing. Depends on complexity.

I''ve written before about finding Web Development Firms in Los Angeles. I just got an email asking about exactly this: I''m with a new company that needs some software built, but doesn''t need (or have the resources for) a large staff of software developers. Are they asking good questions?

We change the paradigm, and we only do an entire institution, the entire hospital or enterprise--every square foot--anywhere resources can travel. I think we've got a great team, with the right product, at the right time in the market.

Your highest priority right now is hiring the 1 or 2 people that are going to join your company and make a difference. There’s you and your killer CTO co-founder. In Los Angeles we don’t have “patron technology companies&# that are big enough to matter – we’re still hoping to see them emerge.
