"Find a developer you like, and let him choose (or at least have input into) the technology."
I disagree. Never let the developer dictate the technology. Choose whats right for the company in the short/medium and long term. What if the company/client gets duped into using some guy that only develops in Erlang? Yeah, ok, I dont know many developers who do, but i've come across similar situations before. Why do so many big coporates choose Microsoft technology? Answer: The availability of relatively cheap, fairly good, developers at a drop of a hat. Just my 2 cents....
