They are useful when you meet business people, developers just google you or ask for your twitter/github/linkedIn/whatever.
Based on my own experience, it's better to have a few high quality business cards than tons of low quality ones, especially if you only hand out 1-2 every week. I got mine dirt cheap but they looked awful and were embarrassing to hand out. Select quality paper and an elegant template design and you're set (resist the temptation of designing the business card by yourself at this stage, this process can literally take weeks/months with all the design options available).

Ya, this is my thinking also (i.e., not designing it myself). I know a few very capable designers and will likely enlist the services of one of them.
I can tweak an existing design (barely) but my visual originality begins and ends with stick figures.
