I vaguely remember reading that article while I was at said company making basically the same salary (with the same company valuation at the time) and realizing my equity was far below that and scratching my head.

If I had PG's recommended equity instead of what I had I would have gone from neutral EV to basically pay-off-my-house money. Like I said, it's things like these that make me never want to work for a startup again and only come in as a founder.
