The issue isn't with the candidate it's with the application of the candidate. You've presented two different things as the same. The initial screening process at many companies is pretty deterministic, based on fixed inputs in the person's application, and so can somewhat be easily gamed unless it is continually refined by engineering leadership to counteract some of the dynamics I mentioned by those who basically make a living trying to get all of their students through these screens.

If there is a sufficient correlation between radically underqualified candidates passing the initial screens due to their applications being (retrospectively) designed by the coding boot camp to do so, then it's reasonable to assume applications from those boot camps contain basically no real signal, and so really don't say much one way or another about the candidate's technical skills. In general, interviewing people is costly, and so with minimal signal you'll just say "no."

On the other hand, if there is no coding boot camp on the resume, there's no reason to believe the person's resume, github profile, etc, has been hand crafted by domain experts around passing technical job screens. You can much more likely take it at face value. So, that is why my honest advice at this time is to leave it off, because you are probably doing more harm than good. (This doesn't mean remove the work from your github or wipe the knowledge you had from your brain, just don't put it there because it may be sending a negative signal, regardless of your own merit.)

Once the person is in the door for an interview or the job their application is, generally speaking, not very relevant at that point vs their actual abilities to get the job done and work well on the team.
There are two things I don't understand.

1) How come there isn't a standard, mandatory, country-wide ID card system in place?

2) If you can vote without an ID card, what prevents illegals from voting as somebody else?

I don't see how Kickstarter or Indiegogo have much a future when many high-profile campaigns fail so spectacularly. The CEO of both those companies must know that "buyer beware" doesn't cut it and their namebrands are being tarnished by letting backers be swindled like this. They need a way to protect backers from complete losses of money, by delivering money in tranches after hitting milestones, or doing a complete demo in real life at the headquarters, once it reaches a certain level of funding.
I'm a little confused. First, they say:

Then:

I assume they're referring to SMS (I see references to Twilio)... but didn't NIST just recently say that SMS wasn't acceptable for 2FA?

Quite pleased to read this, though:

He's saying a person with a liberal arts degree and some amateur experience looks better than some one who graduated from a boot camp.

1. The American tradition is distrust of government, especially the federal government. A mandatory national ID card would cause riots in the streets.

That being said, it kinda exists already in the form of the Social Security card & number. If a baby is born in a hospital, they get one at birth. If not, the parents can apply for one. It is the de facto way to prove citizenship. Everyone who processes sensitive information asks for it (banks, etc.)

2. Persons in the US illegally don't vote because the benefit is nonexistent and the punishment is very harsh.

I built bindings for various C++ libraries in SWIG (not only for Python but also Lua and Ruby) and I was always very impressed with the result. What's amazing about SWIG is its ability to easily port very complex and rich code. I successfully exported very complex class hierarchies and code relying heavily on pointers and STL to Python and/or Lua. The process consists of writing several header-like configuration files that SWIG ingests and uses to generate bindings, which is often pretty straightforward. Often you can simply import the normal C/C++ header files in those configs and add some glue code / extra hints to help SWIG in cases where it can't figure out what to do with a particular type.

In my experience, the most difficult aspect of binding generation is not writing the glue code, but doing so in a scalable way. Manually writing bindings for any real-world C++ codebase would therefore be extremely tedious (IMHO), so having an automated system that does this work for you is a huge time saver.

Some larger libraries / frameworks have their own wrapping generators Btw, PyQt (which provides extremely good bindings to QT) for example has SIP which is worth looking at (it's open source).
In most of Europe (UK and IE are one exception still using SWIFT) you just need the IBAN (international bank account number). In a lot of cases the payment is instant, even between countries, and free.

The Hot New Hedge Fund Flavor Is 'Quantamental'
If you have no other alternative and can’t take the time to write it for yourself, and need something now, sure, go nuts and take something random off Github, PyPI, npm, or whatever.

But code that does not have upstream development and support is dead code. A piece of code in production is like an Internet connection or electrical or water hookup – it must be, so to speak, “connected” upstream to whoever is providing continuous upgrades and security/bug fixes. Otherwise, it is (to continue stretching the analogy) like a mystery battery or water barrel – it could go bad in many ways at any time and you wouldn’t know it until your equipment starts to fail because of low voltage or voltage spikes, or you start to die of legionnaires’ disease. And unlike a battery or water, there are only cursory, no good and thorough, ways to test their quality, and no way to test their age as measured by the way they interact with the ever-changing outside world.

2. doesn't really convince me--they are illegals, who are staying in a country with no regard for the law. "Harsh punishment" doesn't sound like something that would deter them from doing something like voting, as that could improve their lives greatly.

I'am assuming you are 'just' developing solutions.
Your customers are only interested in a product - not tech side.

So, your goal should be: "How I can develop (and maintain) this product in the most efficient way?".

Step 1 : Get stable grounds

Pick a language that can solve most of common challenges that you will tackle.
Make yourself proficient in it.
You need to minimize time spent on thinking "how I can do it in X language?".
(You've got Java/C# skillset so most of your web skills should be around here).

Step 2 : Optimize

You've got another web project? That's great!
You just need to pick up template with all boilerplate (like: logging, monitoring, deployment, auth etc.) from last project and fill missing features.

Step 3: Extend

Now, you can finish most of your projects in seconds.
It's time to find new clients. Search for new domain - like: mobile, embedded or machine learning.
This time you can decide if your existing toolset is enough for new problems or rather, adding new one will be more beneficial to you.
Like: You can do a lot of ML stuff in C# but Python is the place where all important stuff happens.

PS:

IaaS vs PaaS

Here is question for you:

Do you like to do more admin stuff for low cost hosting?

Or do you like to focus on coding and spent a bit more money and let cloud do most of admin work for you?

It's a your time vs money optimization.

Personally, for small (scale) project I'am running with IaaS - but I already have knowledge how to do it.
For big ones - it's better to stick with PaaS - even very skilled DevOps can't single-handedly deal with big scale.

For you I would advise using PaaS since you don't have experience with neither PaaS nor IaaS.
PaaS is a lot easier to learn and you can always migrate your code to IaaS as a Step 2 :)

Good luck and have fun.

I don't think asking about REST is a bad question and it's definitely a good inroads to conversation; you should just be aware of both the original work and the variety of different understandings so that you can make good use of that conversation and recognize that skilled candidates are likely to have differing ideas about REST.

Why is that? Australia did (or still does?) have monetary incentives to have more children, completely backwards...
> Monetary incentives to have less children

IMHO this isn't necessary in developed economies as the replacement rate is already below 2. [0]

Instead of paying people in developed countries to have fewer children, as the population of these countries would already be in decline were it not for immigration, we should spend the sane money on women's education and contraceptives in developing countries. [1]

Personally, my biggest concern is that the largest population growth is occurring in regions with the lowest levels of food security. Any disruption to the food supply in these areas will lead to large loss of life and/or geopolitical strife.

Maybe the distance itself is why people are so excited about Mars. When you go to the Moon, human civilization is right there and can interfere with whatever you may wish to accomplish, while on mars it seems so far away that earthly powers will be hard pressed to keep control, but not far enough as to be unfeasible to go to. You can start something new, something your that's your own. It's like the difference between going to Ireland and going to America. Or at least it evokes those kinds of emotions. Truth is you'll be so reliant on Earth in both Mars and the Moon for several generations as to make this distinction moot, but humans are more emotional than rational in nature.

Nokia also had a good example a couple of years ago.

In 2008 they close a factory plant in Bochum (Germany) to move it to Romania, with tax reductions from the Romanian government.

In that year they received the "Company of the Year" award from the Romanian government, many Romanians were of course happy to be given the opportunity for a job, while a anti-Nokia sentiment grew in Germany with the amount of jobs being lost.

A few years later (2011) Nokia moved the same factory to Vietnam.
