I have to push back a bit on a junior who knows a JavaScript framework being a more versatile developer than a senior who doesn't. I'd bet on the senior building a really solid, extensible, and powerful application with their backend language of choice + HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. Especially these days with things like Laravel's Liveview (or Rails' Hotwire). JavaScript frameworks are cool, but they're not the only important thing in a web developer's toolkit.
