This is confusing and intimidating specially for someone who is starting the developer journey. primarily because the title is misleading most of the skills listed here are not must for every developer. the term developer is also misused because it is indirectly defined like this
developer = full-stack developer + designer + security expert + project manager
which is not true. so if there is someone intimidated by this list there is a good reason that you shouldn't.

Hey, It is clearly written in the third paragraph of the introductory section that "Of course, you won’t need all of them and this list isn’t complete. But it should give you a good idea of what to learn next or what to improve on."

Basically the “must have” skills are actually not needed all, just a few. Title is clearly written for click baiting. Sorry bro.
