It is not as if the same effort will be dedicated to switching to modules than a rewrite (which probably won't happen for the OP)

This would lead to incredible toxic situations. If I want to apply to 5 companies and all 5 have 1, but different questions that I could learn in a week. Would you considser it would be more efficient for any party for me to learn this in advance?

Also, this assumes it is known upfront what this required knowledge would be...
