I run a Discord community [0] around software internals for folks interested in hacking on databases, compilers, browsers, emulators, etc.

There's a jobs channel there where folks post jobs on these topics there. If you've got these kinds of software internals jobs you're welcome to join and share. If you're looking for these kinds of jobs you're welcome to join and browse.

Unlike OP's site this isn't tied to particular technology/languages/frameworms but tied to particular interesting topics.

Just because a company is using technologies you love doesn't mean you'll be using technologies you love if you work there. We use Go! (On one service (that's really a proof of concept (our main stack is ASP.NET)))

This.

My younger and naive self used to over value the tech stack of a company, nowadays I don't care, there's way more important issues than the specific tech stack chosen like people, organization and processes.

A strong engineering team pushes for meaningful and well organized requirements collection and encoding, documentation of the business domain, values (meaningful) testing and is strongly oriented towards providing the best developer experience possible.

Languages and libraries do play a part in developer experience and satisfaction, but they are generally way less important.

I work a lot with Nim, for my own projects. There aren't many jobs out there for Nim just yet. I'm going to release some of tech I've built as Open Source (https://nexusdev.tools/). With any luck that will help to build up the Nim community, which in turn could help jump-start the Nim job market.

DocUI, the back-end SDK that uses Flutter for the front-end, is actually multi-language on the back-end. But I also have a back-end web-framework built on top of Jester that handles user management. Another example is an ORM that generates Nim data access files (which is Postgres only at the moment, but other DBs could be added).

I feel like lately something weird is happening to the industry. I interviewed some people lately during the past few months to fill a couple of react jobs, and it looks like people is really giving a lot of fucks to the tech stack and technology they use, like I feel like there are now a lot of people who are knowledgeable of everything but master of nothing and also they keep learning framework and library without…

I know a lot about security, but I did not know about owasp10 before today. I knew about all the listed security issues in owasp 10 and how to mitigate them, but not about the list itself. Perhaps look at what candidates actually know instead of $nextCoolList?

Well, personally when I ask about something with an acronym is just for shortness, but of course if you see the candidate a bit worried unable to give an answer for that specifically then I usually try to help saying something on the lines of (in this specific case), "So if I say XSS or session hijacking does anything comes to mind?" So like I don't just ask about OWASP and then move on, try to help, so I am pretty sure that it was not just the list, but yeah also I made an example of the one we hired, but I've had candidates knowing a lot of stuff but not knowing what a decorator was, so I was making a point more specifically about concrete frameworks versus principles

That's little solution introduced to real problem .. looking at job description these days makes me shifting to a product guy using tech I think is appropriated, not just based on "large pool of developers", and fall into inferior and inappropriate tech for solving problems.
