Overcoming this stuff is easier said than done, but I'll say that from my perspective it's more important to me that you care than that you know. Like if we are covering a topic and you don't know, but you want to know more or you at least see why this topic might be of value.
Dismissive ignorance is the only thing that will make you lose points in my book. If I'm talking about, say, network performance with a front end dev, I don't really care if they know about that stuff, but if they dismiss the topic as wholly unimportant to their world, it's going to leave me pretty miffed.
If you come into an interview, or any difficult networking environments, with a willingness to show an interest in the subjects you don't know as much about, you'll do well.
That's a great point, and I agree completely. Having a friendly, curious, open-minded approach seems to me to be more important than any one piece of information.
