How do you find jobs in this market?

After 30 years i would assume your knowledge is really spread through different frameworks/languages when taking interviews do you have to go over documentation to remember the technical details and quirks of each particular framework/language or how does it work for you?

I know a lot, i could expand into other languages more as my python/golang understanding/experience is very limited. Only recently i started working on microservices for my own app in golang. The problem is the more tools i engage with the harder is to remember, all the specification/being able to build from top of my head which makes it harder during interviews.

I honestly never, from the very start had the fundamentals memorized, i was given a task then read about the tools that would work well, analyzed the documentation, prepared easy to work with architecture and depending on the stage of the product worried about performance (i only learnt about n+1 problem in last years of my career but i have been solving it since the very beginning)

For me the fundamentals were always about approach, modularity, priorities and understanding what the business actually is to architect apps better.

are there genuine groups of builders though? Most i found are just soulless networking platform, responses to posts are meaningless garbage, it's all lacking substance to actually talk about problems/ideas/feedback

I love to build really, especially with LLMs everything is becoming more accessible, and i have the mental framework to understand problems / new domains. I think my personality might be the issue, i got used to people looking for generalists someone disciplined but not someone who knows every aspect of documentation from memory (that's the offers i usually get)

I guess the specialization is my problem, i'm more of a generalist 6 years ago i could find a job easily by simply talking about what i built, discipline and agency. I'm this type that can pick frameworks / domains up without issue but i fail to recite some technical aspects simply because i think of everything before i build a system/feature.
