What do you mean by know? Are you referring to languages and technologies, or are you talking about... refactoring, planning and things that are not strictly related to development? Because I would love to talk about either, but one is definitely shorter to write. :)
Debugging strategies: Eliminating variables and addressing your own assumptions about the system in order to debug effectively. I think this fundamentally applies to all subsections of our industry.
I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch.
I'm saying what some would assume is obvious, but I'll say it anyways. It's OK to ask questions. No one knows everything. What you should do though before asking your questions is do your due diligence. Step through the code, check the logs, Google the error etc.
Someone more junior would perhaps due less of this, but as you progress in your career your diligence should increase.

Every developer should understand how their tools work. That is, OS, IDE, text editors, shell/command prompt
How to google stuff :)
