>Finding people who are irremediably bad programmers is not that easy
What? I can go get you a few hundred right now if you want. It is trivially easy to find tons of bad programmers.
>The most you will find is people who are still learning
I wish. Mostly I find people who should be still learning, but don't want to. People who have an incredibly superficial knowledge of one set of technologies (lets say php+mysql) and think they are set. The kind of depth of knowledge you would expect from someone with 6 months of experience, even though they've actually been doing it for 5+ years.
