Love the final sentence, and thanks for the fresh viewpoint. On the bullets, we differ in opinion on some (maybe I truly am a stick in the mud):

- React/Flux: It IS super new, I just assumed if a company choose/moved to it and are actively coding with it that they would know the basics of it. Certainly wasn't expecting core contributor knowledge by any means, just that fellow devs have read the docs and avoid plainly stated bad patterns in said documentation.

- Functional Programming: Again, I only mentioned FP because they are core concepts for React/Flux. They are also highly encouraged/required in certain scenarios: https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/advanced-performance.h...

- Security: There is no reason security needs to slow down a project dramatically, if done right. End-user security should be taken seriously and not be something to be tossed aside because it is "hard". Basics get you a long way.

- CS: Good idea on the premium. Though it is often beyond a simple conversation when the concepts of recursion and basic data structure performance/usage is an exotic topic.

- Devops: Solid points, however I wouldn't say it is anything close to a bankrupt concept. Ansible and Salt for a day or two and you have completely manageable, repeatable, and solid approach to your infrastructure.

We agree on what the biggest concerns are. Oddly, I often see nearly everything missing, those being of the most concern.
