There are overall very few developers when you are looking for "local" developers. I am not sure there is another Ada developer in all of South Florida I could hire if I needed :) > Generally they want to hire lots of poor developers, since that maximizes profit on cost-plus contracts, and Ada people tend not to fall into that category. There is truth to this, but once they hired the handful of people we know they'd still have tons of seats to fill. Also, not every project requires someone with the skill sets many of us have, projects of a large enough size may not justify that many senior level people. David Botton
