I think you are spending too much time critiquing.
Also, learning sass is important as many organizations use it. It produces cleaner CSS, and helps with cross browser compatibility. Not to mention, learning CSS was listed second on his list of subjects to learn, and Sass as forth.
Also, one of the best features in some CSS in JS is nesting, along with other Sass like features. Essentially, if you only understand CSS, you'll only be hindering your capabilities and understanding of CSS in JS. For example, styled-components is a lot more powerful if you have preexisting knowledge of Scss.

Lastly, everyone needs a GitHub. I see people trying to make a point where you don't need one. Some say recruiters don't care or have no ability to read code anyhow. But the thing is, majority people in the field will tell you, the further you go through the interview process, you'll eventually land in front of the lead developer or engineer, who's going to decide on whether your skills are up to par, and can contribute to the team. One should hope they have a GitHub that day. I have also heard numerous times, where during the interview, the developer has been asked to walk through code on their GitHub. Rather than a white board.
I would also add, that GitHub is the Instagram of git management, whereas gitlab is myspace.

I hope I don't sound harsh! 🤣 I just don't see the need to "proof read" or "correct" what's been said here. All solid points IMHO.
