This guide although has an impressive list of tech, but I'm missing here the reason behind learning all of that.

IMO the list of tech you worked with doesn't make you a Pro.
What makes you a Pro is knowledge:

  • why to use this or that tech
  • general app architecture
  • why when and how to manage app state
  • what patterns to use for doing various stuff
  • being able to quickly grasp the app structure to see the best way to implement a particular feature so that your colleagues don't WTF on reviews.

this only comes with experience and continuous learning.
Lurking in the code, participate in open source projects that you use, etc.

By the way, if I find someone who would claim this stack in their CV and 3 years of experience I'd question the proficiency. It's most likely to be a very shallow knowledge of all that stuff.
