I interviewed a developer once who was super junior on paper but had a side project of a fully featured desktop anime episode to watch/watched tracker with lots of library feature features. Hire. Interviewed another Dev who made arcade sticks as a side project. Hired. You can't teach passion. Hire all that passionate people you can. Tech stacks are irrelevant compared to the love of building things.
