>I don’t want to go ad personam on the blog author - but checking his socials he is not really experienced person.

According to LinkedIn:

- Masters in CS from UPenn

- 1 year as SWE at Google

- 6 years as SWE at FB/Meta

- 6 years running his own company

When I hear "not really experienced," I think recent college grad, not someone with a Master's and 15 years of industry experience.
