Pickup a framework overnight results in shoehorning your current knowledge into the framework and late night rants about how the framework sucks.

It was a figure of speech! :)

My point was that unless you're a small startup with very specific need for the tech stack you're using, you probably shouldn't be hiring based on whether the candidate knows certain framework, because that can be learned quickly, as long as the developer has solid foundation.

I'd say it depends on the framework a lot.

Many frameworks deeply affect how the code is written and have very specific boilerplate, custom templating and such. And some frameworks simply offer means of doing some things in an easier, usually specific, way with the relevant language.

In my experience it is also highly relevant how your thoughts on architecture match up to the framework's. I'd say you can happen to have a solid affinity for the way a framework is thought out. But in general, I'd agree, overnight is generally not sufficient for anything proper :)
