Agreed about the dream job, that's pretty much what i explicitly answer every time i am asked about my preferences in terms of stack/tech to recruiters and engineers i interviewed with. I lucked-in into such a situation at least once, and I can confirm that I still enjoy it.

I can definitely see why some people might hate that situation, because it feels like nothing is working and you dont know anything at first. But if you aren't demoralized by that, and instead find joy in learning/figuring out all those new things on a regular basis, it all feels extremely rewarding. Like, why would I dislike being paid to essentially learn a bunch of new stuff regularly and solve actual real world impact problems using that new knowledge.
