It shouldn't be advertised like that.
There's no indication of that, so how do you know?

This kind of indicated that to me, at least. Also the format of the title is just inherently daft and a rhetorical device that summarizes the kind of list it is. Like "things to do before you die", or "ten things you won't believe Michael Jordan sat on".

We all have our own version of this list in our heads. This person just published theirs.

Also it says:

>P.S. You don't need to know all of that by heart to be a programmer. But knowing the stuff will help you become better!
