I don't know what world you're living in, but engineering salaries _have_ absolutely shot up in recent years. 10 years ago no engineer was scoffing at making 6 figures straight out of school. I remember being wowed when a friend reported that Google had started regularly offering 105K to fresh grads.

The article was about VC funding for startups. Has comp at startups improved that much recently? Not to my knowledge.

In my experience at several startups, and discussions with numerous friends and colleagues in similar positions, yes the eng comp at startups is much better than it was 5 years ago.
