I’d say the opposite in my experience when I’ve been a hiring manager.
I prefer candidates who show that they understand their fundamentals, their primary domain and can show that they grow and adapt easily. The current hot technology is ephemeral and can be learned on the job by a competent engineer.
That said, my background is startups so I don’t know what larger companies expect.
My background is in larger companies. No one is going to care what framework your personal site is built on. If anything it might not even come up because there’s such an emphasis on Leetcode questions, but I seriously doubt it would hurt your chances.
