Suggested revisions:

- More on databases (including non-relational). We all need to know a lot of this for day-to-day work yet it but it barely made the list.

- More on writing clean, readable code (this isn't on anyone's list, damn it!) How to name variables appropriately, how to comment, how to not write 150-character lines, etc. Fail them if they can't produce code that other students can quickly read.

- Corporate survival skills (read your email before sending, come to meetings prepared with what you need to say, don't criticize people directly especially in front of others, etc)

- More on concurrency

- No machine learning or robotics - these are specialties without much use for the rest of us (though they are fun)

- Reduce the number of useless but interesting languages
