Don’t Call Yourself a Developer If You Don’t Code

I think part of the issue is how do you tell if what you're getting is someone who knows how to click the buttons or someone who can write a plugin?

And 'interview' is not a great answer because the signal to noise ratio is so low.

Correct - 500 interviews for developers including requirements for a GitHub/Bitbucket repo, X years of programming experience etc and 400 of them haven't seen code in their lifetime. The fact that people are so assured that what they do is programming is making it close to impossible to find or grow talent to a certain set of skills (which is fairly well defined in other dev communities)
