You can generalize it, but that was a point to make the list more specific. And yes, world is a very different place today. The number of SW engineers doubles every year, so, at least half for them are new. We are engineers and we should try to measure or competency, аnd should try to systematize the things that we use. Of course, this list is not something absolutely universal, but we should at least try think about standards we that we want to meet.
