Of course you can and you should. But going from the Twitter bio and personal website, it doesn't appear to be the case here. They're an activist who lives from soliciting donations and selling 30$ videos on how to be anti-racist (like, literally).

Doesn't mean what they're saying is wrong. Probably makes more sense to attack the substance of their argument, and not their bio.
The comment I was replying to already did a good job at that, I was just adding some context because it helps explain the attitude.

Assuming this is the case, are you concluding they don't have time to be a real software developer?
Maybe they were a professional developer, but now are an activist 50% of the time.

Is the indictment here that they are a capitalist?
My basic point is you seem to really want to dismiss their views you don't like by arguing they aren't credible rather than attacking their ideas.

No and they are actually anti-capitalist according to their Twitter bio.
