Yeesh. In fairness it's a fine list, but you can be an excellent JavaScript developer and know less than one third of what's on that list. Ambitious JS lifers maybe can get to most of that, but for people who value some breadth of knowledge across tech, I'm not sure even pursuing such a list is a good idea.

Learn programming, not just frameworks. Frameworks will come and go, but the core programming concepts (good design, algorithms, cleanliness, simplicity, data structures, architecture) will tend to stay relevant longer. Learn the principles of Reactive Programming, not just RXJs, learn the philosophy of Redux, not just its syntax. You won't be able to keep up with it otherwise.
