Yeah....you hire them because you cannot do anything yourself......they play you.....you know how many people have told me they 'know' a good programmer and then lose fucking money and time and effort and sometimes their entire fucking businesses......dozens and dozens.....more than not.

My own company doesn't hire for talent....it hires for 'fit'.....in other words...don't rock the boat.....not skills...

Your budget was never high enough to get anyone who has both self respect and talent.....you hired the cheapest yes men you could find....like all who cannot code for shit....
