I really don't understand the point of this article and also lately these kind of articles. People want to write for the heck of writing. All the basic courses are still relevant and valid. for ex. if there is no compiler course then people don't know how to build compilers. If there are no compilers or interpreters, you cannot write code (it will be useless because you cannot convert your code to machine language). Then there will be no products and no innovation.
In this situation, I would recommend "Essentials of Programming Languages" before something like "Engineering a Compiler".
