I don't totally agree with you, maybe most of knowledges the author wrote on post applies only to web developers, but some of them are universal, like data structures and algorithms or databases. What do you think about?

Yea. I think the first part is more general. The front and back end stuff is more specific.

Perhaps the "only" on the original query is confusing. I think the full list only applies to mainstream web developers. There are other types of developers (especially low level) that maybe uses 1 or 2 of these skills. Or maybe SVN instead of GIT. And many other examples.

Yes. Those would be less popular so they wouldn't be must-learn items.
