For about an hour or two today, I had the top two posts on planet-php.org

Dear Reader,
Most of you know, but some of you may not know, that one of the consulting services I provide is helping people identify and hire quality PHP programmers. I’ve been hiring developers for a long time now and inevitably, someone will ask me in a conversation, “How can I find good programmers?” Since [...]
