A bunch of the items in this list are in the past tense as if they are already done. For example, "Learned a programming language outside of class" vs. "Learn a programming language outside of class."
Also, they are mostly not really goals so much as things one might do on the way to a goal. "Design and build an application to do ________" is a concrete goal. To achieve a goal, a developer might learn how to build a REST API, use a suitable language or two, ask questions on SO (or Dev), etc. For me, concrete goals are usually broad strokes that consist of many individual bite-sized tasks that take no more than a week to complete. Therefore there is constant forward progress and many little successes along the way. Doing the items in the list come naturally when the mindset is focused on a concrete goal.

Yes, for the first problem I did the required changes in the post. (Thanks for pointing out, hope it looks good now)
For the second thing you said I totally agree, it's just a direction, so anyone can do anything they want in a flexible way.
Thanks for suggestions @cubiclesocial 😊
