Forgive me, but isn't this a circular reference?
I mean, doesn't this confuse the compiler as to which mono1 you're referring? The variable or the template using?

Not at all. Anything inside angle brackets is part of a template, and is not executed at run time.
Edit: Whoops I think I misunderstood you, even though my answer is more or less correct.
Basically, there's only one mono1. It's a type alias. It's also an argument to a template function that returns an instance of whatever type was passed into it.
There's nothing circular here.

LOL. You're right. I misread the statement. mono1 is the type, *doh*

Which is the best certification that helps you to boost your career?
|
|
|
|
|
Probably none of them.
No one certification will do that: we have no idea what direction your career is supposed to be heading, and a certification is normally in a pretty narrow field - so unless your career is extremely specialized, you will probably want several.

A "degree" comes to mind.
You can get one after three to five years of college.
Highly recommended.
After that, it's really a matter of "it depends".
If you're doing Java, a C# certificate will probably do you little good.
If you're doing Azure, you can skip the AWS certificates.
In my experience, employers ask for Microsoft, AWS, Google and Scrum certificates, so they should help you.
Make sure you get the official ones though, a Udemy certificate of completion or a W3 Schools certificate won't do you much good.

it's impossible to answer without more details.
anecdotal, I'm 50 and I have no certification and my career is good, and no one ever mention them.

Same here, but then I'm and embedded developer.

In my experience, the only thing that I have found to boost one's career is being in the right place at the right time - on top of hard work and diligence.
But, if you want to send me $300, I can reveal many ancient and mystical secrets that will make you rich and powerful beyond your wildest dreams.

If you send me your bank details (including password) I will deposit the $300 quite soon.

Probably the one the company you work for, or want to work for requires. I'm switching jobs and have to do some MS certs because they require it for their MS partnership.

IMNSHO the certs are all BS, and I'd only bring them up if asked. Otherwise (if I'm the one interviewing an applicant) you come across as someone who's drunk the Kool-Aid and are just too eager to play that dumb game. Depending on who you're talking to, you don't want to show you're buying into the BS.

It might be making use of an idiom ( USA/English ) but all in all, the best certification is that you are not "certifiable".

Anything that HR lists on the job posting. Seriously, certifications generally are only useful to get past HR and to the actual hiring manager.

In 47 years, interviewing thousands, hiring many hundreds, managing large and small projects and teams, I never considered certs in the process. Never. Not once. I have gotten certs, and I have paid teams to get certified in something specific (like Windows NT, when it was new; Java, when it was new; AWS, when it was new). But, I never told HR, and I never looked at resumes, to see if someone had a particular cert. The work they did, their experience, told me they were "certified".

I had an Oracle cert. Full OCP, back when it was the only cert Oracle offered.
I got it because I thought it would be a career changer.
But every time I'd apply for a job in MS-SQL server or Crystal Reports they'd look at that and say "well, he's got that cert, he must be good". And it would help me get the job.
Years later, still no Oracle job. But that non-related cert mattered over and over. On those very rare occasions when they asked why I didn't have an Oracle career behind me, I'd say that the MS-SQL Server jobs were what was available.
On top of that, I've noted when interviewing people that no matter what cert you have IT DOESN'T GET YOU OUT OF THE TECHNICAL INTERVIEW. You still have to stand in front of the whiteboard and go over whatever it is you are supposed to do. You still do the dance. Experience is the big factor, and the ability to get along with others is the second.
My advice, based on all that, is to get one that imparts actual knowledge to you that is relevant to your career. My Oracle cert imparted knowledge that became relevant when I'd have to speak to the differences between database systems. If you don't think it will be a respected cert, take the classes for the knowledge and don't bother to pay for testing. A MySQL cert path for a programmer strikes me as an example of value added. Or taking the MongoDB or Cassandra
The other issue worth bringing up are the people with too many certs. We used to call them "paper tigers" because they had all the certs and none of the necessary know-how. Some people are good test-takers, and it actually detracts since most of us know it. So if you have a ton of certs, don't put them all on the resume you give to a company. Just put in the few they asked for or one or two that impress managers.
