I don't think I know one person who knows all the material on the "what every computer science major should know"

I see this list passed around all the time, but any one of {robotics, formal methods, UX} would rule out 98%+ of the programmers I know.

The list has of those, plus like 30 other things, and a comment that the list is a living document that will continue to grow. wtf?

"Things every X should know" lists tend to be "things *I* know and everyone should be me" lists.

we forget everything we don't use/need regularly. the list is even more expansive than "what most programmers have ever known"

Depends on how deeply you're expected to "know" it. You probably only need enough to be able to Google constructively

Nit: article recommends formal methods as "learn a theorem prover", which is the most difficult and least practical form of formal methods
-
Formal methods is a huge field and for 99% of people demanding they learn theorem provers is condescending and pointless.

Given the book recommendations (with some exceptions), I think "know" is at a very shallow level.
