Learning Web Development? Skills to Make You Stand Out

Shouldn't most of these be standard skills that a web developer should know? I think _not_ knowing these things would make you stand out more than if you knew them (albeit, negatively). Perhaps I'm missing something...

I think you'd be surprised what is left out when people come from unconventional backgrounds.

Yes, I also think these are standard skills; I have most skills listed here and I'm not even a web developer.

Not necessarily. For example you could be a decent web developer on the Microsoft stack and not be proficient with the whole section "Learn To Work in Unix Shells". Also it could be easy to get by using git with a UI and not know any of the commands or medium/advanced functionality.

To be fair if you truly understand how to use git with a UI you can probably pick up the console within an hour or two of some cursory googling.

I have worked with web developers and developers who didn't have the knowledge of how to use the command line or much if any networking.
