Are brilliant & nice people really as rare as y'all seem to be suggesting? That's not my experience at all.

If brilliant means not mediocre, or above average, they are as rare as they are common. Depends how your budget stretches; If it doesn't, you have to make do.

I tend to err on the side of EpicEng here. Those people are readily available and you're just not paying enough.

Truly brilliant people are extremely rare, so I'd say yes.
