"Given how important chips are to modern society EVERYONE should understand and appreciate how they are made" Everyone ? Maybe everyone in the field of chip making ? How does the knowledge of these definitions impacts the life of those not in this field (not being sarcastic, this is an actual question) ?

How can you fix your home electronics if you do not know all 200 chip designs??

  Don't worry, most of the new "IoT smart devices" will probably be DRM-enabled, so you'll be a criminal if you try to fix them. Problem solved?

I believe the article was satire. I believe it was intended to mock developers evangelical quests to educate the public on programming languages/frameworks/methodologies/etc.

  Sorry - there is no way this article is satire. Can you quote anything outright satirical other than the eagerness of the very first sentence? I reread it carefully in response to your comment but concluded there is nothing satirical about this article - on the contrary, it's a useful resource.

Agreed. Part of the problem is there's virtually no limit to the application of sentences like this. For example, "Given how important the Sun is for our survival, here's a list of 200 terms everyone should know about nuclear fusion."
