Good developer is highly subjective and often disappointing. When people say that they typically mean specifically targeted candidate. How long it takes to find that person typically comes down to: * specificity of targeting * commonality of targeted skills in the market place * competition for such candidates Confusing something good for those factors is half the reason many companies stop reading resumes and make poor hiring decisions. A poor hiring decision is not just someone unqualified but also people who are well qualified yet not what you expect or need. In my case as a JavaScript developer many companies knowingly ship the same kinds of crappy software over and over because they leverage their hiring risks away from writing software to tooling popular tools/frameworks.
