> If someone were to ask me to sit down and write something in React/Vue.js/whatever on the first interview, I don't think I could without the docs or a tutorial available I've been in the web development doing all "ends" since I-lost-count-how-many years and even with a library which has rather a small API surface like React, I also need to search things every once in a while. If they don't allow you to do that in an interview, they have unrealistic expectations. > I could pick up Django within two weeks if you hired me. I know what it is and what MV(C) is. Isn't that enough? Most of the time, it is enough. There is also an unlikely chance that they have a lot of complexity and need someone who knows the internals and can fix obscure bugs. That probably wouldn't be you for Django/React. I sometimes was that person in the past and it's very stressful so, it's not something a developer would seek to become anyway.
