Boy this is a long list, isn't it? I commend you for the effort it takes to get through all of the entries here. You're putting quite a bit of work into making sure you find the right help for you.
What if, through all of the effort you're putting in, you found a connection so reliable that you would never have to repeat the work you're doing now?
Your time certainly is more valuable doing something other than searching HN for freelancers.
How productive are you right now, really?
I run a software team and that wants to be the last software company you'll ever have to work with.
I'm looking for a long-term relationship with you, be it with active projects or not. I don't want you to ever have to spend hours reading lists like this again. Your time is worth so much more.
We have years of experience solving difficult problems and enjoy using Ruby and Rails to help solve problems quickly. We have several years working with Rails, but more importantly we've developed quality control processes that allow us to ensure a high quality of what we produce, regardless of the technology we use to do it.
In the coming years, technology will change and the right tech choice for you might be something else. When that time comes, you'll be happy that our processes are portable and will move to support the shiny new tech and continue to provide you with a consistent level of quality.
I want to get to know you.

I would love to talk to you directly, M-F 9-5 EST.
Let's make this the last time you have to spend hours searching for programming help.
Thanks, Nick
