For me, I've always found the people's tendency to ask the retarded question "You haven't heard of $something ?" perplexing. Indeed, people pick whatever they like && delve into it, while the other things are left probably mostly untouched. Also, just because a person does like something, doesn't mean they need to know _every_ damn thing about it.

Interesting post, jestdotty... I like it.
Yes, far too much to learn. You have to pretty much pick your specialization.
push()
pop()
skibadeedoodop()!
Yes, you go to the library, or you learn your material from wherever and then you stack it all. It is all one big story with interlinked components.
Culture, pleh. Like Einstein said; it is irrelevant, these matters. What is relevant, however, is the company's internal knowledge that ideally shouldn't be monolithed into one Senior's mind (although as we know, in practice this is pretty much the case).
Pornhub.. nice. Haha. Yeah, you just pick your stuff and move on with it, and of course, unfortunately, a lot of it is slop.
Art is... art for a reason. It is to be unique, distinguishable, not slop.
The irony, you know... of these people expecting you to have hundreds of years of knowledge, yet they themselves have never really gone that in-depth themselves. -
Angulah. Just another web framework. Yes, your overall knowledge is important on it. It uses TypeScript Decorators for its component definition. And so on.
Pardon my stop-motion writing. I get lazy from doing so much effort for my own things. lol. However, I do like to put effort in replying here.
Just learn what you can. :)
Okay if you think there's too much to learn in tech
I have now learned there's far far too much to learn in writing
I never even found tech overwhelming... You get the basics and just stack them all the time. Writing, though, everybody invents some totally new thing that's totally original. I am drowning. And then you get to the culture... People just shame you for not knowing everything that has ever happened in the culture. I've consumed a lot of culture, probably more than others, and I can't consume all of culture. It's like pornhub. People upload more of it than you'd ever be able to consume. Art can't sustain itself under its own weight. And you're not considered serious, even by plebians, unless you consumed hundreds of years of every media on one specific topic.
You can't even make the argument that they're looking for an Angular engineer with 12 years experience when angular's only been out 3 years.
It's been out since before you were even born; what do you mean you haven't seen it?!
