I'm in need of a freelance iOS dev (or two) in the Southern California area. Anywhere on the West Coast could work as well. W<p>hat is a good way of finding <i>great</i> freelance devs?<p>9/10 devs I speak to say they can do everything and can't do crap. Just nonsense.<p>Have tried traditional channels of ODesk, ELance but nothing but crap on there as well.<p>Meetups - no go here in SoCal, everyone has an "idea" and is coming from a restaurant waiter background. The scene is pathetic.
