Nice strawman bro.

Nobody is saying to not expand your knowledge. You’re assuming it of this because it’s literally your only argument, but it’s an unfortunately shitty one, as most logical fallacies tend to be.

Nobody said “don’t have wide experience” but you. What I did say was “I’d probably avoid being an ardent fanboy toward an irrelevant to the interview tech stack”. And that “it’s most often best to leave irrelevant digressions to the interviewer”

Again, you go ahead and give out all the shit tier interview advice you like. For people that actually want jobs, probably try to stick to what’s relevant.

You said if someone brought up something like Svelte when interviewing for a React job it would be a red flag. That just sounds silly to people that know how naturally someone could connect Svelte to a discussion about React.

Could I imagine a scenario where it's a non-sequitur? Sure. Not really "don't hire this person" worthy, though.
