This is a million dollar question, but it was answered long time ago: there is no substitute for a programmer who knows what he is doing.

This is something most companies can't do. Small co., can pull it out that for some times, but as companies grow, the temptation to "simply make money" overwhelms even most principled person.

The problem is that even when a programmer knows what they're doing, it does not then follow that I want them doing it.
