Lost my first programmer, who was cool, until we made everything the way he liked, then he bailed. Had other commitments. This after negotiating what was an extremely generous offer. I know when I was in my 20's the sky was the limit. Little attention did I pay to larger trends around me to make good jumps and calculated moves to my benefit.
Hired another guy to take his place. Did good work to date, but then dropped off the map for 1 week without a single word. Gets back to me, I tell him communication is key. He makes promises, and then doesn't keep them. All w/in a 24 hour period. Said life was crazy, and true enough it is. However I have a project and a deadline, so I've already been crazy.
Any wonder why people outsource with soe many seemingly "spoiled" programmers here in the US. So to make sure I stay focused, I hired another two people as backup. So we'll now finish coding our little baby.
Preferably witht he help of my guy, but at this point it is barely necessary.
