Looking to partner with a reliable EXPERT programmer...

That is going to be hard to find. The good PHP guys are all really busy right now with paid work. One of my guys left my company about a year ago to move back to his home town and to work for himself. He still does work for me on a contract basis. He has a backlog of work and has a few Junior guys working for him now.

We were talking a few weeks ago, and we even talked about the partnership work he keeps getting offered. At first, he did work with a few people, but stopped doing that because he never made the money for the work he did. He realized that he had to rely on someone else to make his share, and he just wasn't comfortable with that.

I bring this up because I'm looking for something similar on a couple of large, non-Adult projects I'm working on. The only guys I found that were willing to work on a partnership basis were all inexperienced (or not experienced at all). Anyone good won't even entertain the idea unless there was a guarantee involved.
