Ask HN: How to find a good hacker/co-founder?

[donofrip]

I have a very solid, unique idea for an internet based startup. I have some very, very basic programming knowledge, and although the idea is not complex technologically, I would not be able to do the programming myself. I am a banker by trade. I need someone who is passionate about the idea and is a good programmer. I have some friends who program but all are already working on their own startups.

I know having a good relationship with your co-founder is critical to a startups success. How do I find someone?

Any ideas no matter how crazy would be really helpful.

FWIW, this question is asked here about once a week or so; I suggest looking through the previous posts, there's plenty of good information on this topic.
