Ask HN: Where to find great web developers

[fishcakes]

We are having an incredibly tough time finding developers with experience developing for the web. There are a plethora of junior people, but we haven't been able to find engineers who care deeply about making great websites.

Any ideas, or anyone who is interested in doing this on a contract basis?

I am (pretty) confident it isn't us as we've been able to find amazing mobile developers, backend, devops, and even data focussed developers.

Where are you looking? Have you had luck with word of mouth referrals?

No engineers in our network are excited about working on the web. Everyone is either mobile or backend focussed.
