None of that is relevant to CS. All of that is stuff to learn on the job, if at all. It's a very 1990s list of topics that are barely relevant now.


So you’re saying that understanding a State design pattern is irrelevant today?

When I am teaching a newbie how to build a modern frontend using React, and Redux for state management, how would I describe what Redux is at the core without mentioning a state pattern or one way data binding?


Also, was unit testing a thing in the 1990’s?

SOLID is a fundamental principle in TDD and AGILE development lol. Again, how can one master Jest frontend testing without properly understanding Dependency Injection first?
