It's entirely relevant here. The opinions of a staff engineer on this stuff should be interpreted very differently from the opinions of a developer with much less experience.
Not really because "Staff software engineer" has become the new "Senior Software Engineer" due to title inflation. It's become an essentially meaningless distinction at many companies.
Case in point, this person has around around 7 years of professional experience at just two companies, Zendesk and GitHub. I don't mean this as a personal dig in any way (truly) but this simply isn't what we used to mean by a "Staff" level software engineer.
This person is early-mid career, which we used to just call "Software engineer" then "Senior Software Engineer" and now (often enough) "Staff Software Engineer"
It's not relevant here, because this is a post from someone who worked on copilot. It's a shady sales pitch, disguised as an engineer's honest opinion.
