I come from an IT/business background, but I'm not a programmer. Recently, I've been aproached to head up projects that require software development.
On the same token, this has led me to spend more time developing business ideas that revolve around a developed software or web development.
Because I'm not a programmer, but am technically savvy, I can speak the language, but I'm trying to figure out what would good programmers be looking for to join in on a project?
How do I locate good programmers who want to participate in a project atmosphere? Is it just a money thing? It doesn't appear to be...
I'd imagine that much like IT, its about being part of a smart, innovative environment... but that creates a chicken/egg problem because you've got to start somewhere. So where's all the talent and how do i get their attention?
//EDIT there are a ton of interesting comments below. I'd love for all of you who are contributing to keep an eye out. I think I'm going to break this up into several questions over the next few days because your comments have actually led to more questions (a good thing). So plz keep looking...
