This list is great for moving things from the "unknown unknown" (U-U) to the "known unknown" (K-U) bucket. It's relatively easy to move the things from the K-U to the K-K bucket just by virtue of knowing enough search terms and places to start. I think all of the topics in TFA's list could come into play at some point (I have explored something to do with the majority of these concepts during my work in private research) and it is important to know how compiler optimizations are done, e.g. XLA and Jacobian accumulation techniques to design fast models. I don't think it matters that you don't master all of them, but being able to quickly spin back up to comprehension upon a relatively brief refresh is pretty important when it comes to algorithm design and prototyping.
