Ask HN: What I'm Looking For

Keep asking around. Good team mates at this point a very critical. A mate who knows your existing stack and works with your idea are critical so do lots of "founder dating". Don't rush it. If its a for-hire position also don't rush.
There are sites like CoFoundersLab which may have the right talent. Or AngelList has some as well. I would avoid oDesk/Craigslist now too.
Meetup will likely have events centred around your stack. You could go to some of those and find talent as well.

Your first step is to define "good" at this stage. Is "good" a guy that can make you a prototype within your budget or do you want a coding god that can build the company for the next 5 years.
Startups are like children. Get the right toys for the right stage of life. You don't need a seasoned guy with tons of experience to create a working prototype. If you get more interest after the prototype stage, you'll have more traction and attract someone that can really take you to the next stage.
Baby steps.

Our small team just completed a hackathon where our business was commended at the end, with talks of potential investment. We also got in touch with a ton of potential users, which helped us get our design to the next level. So, my question is this: how do I find good developers to work with?
