I think he implies that devs have less time to devote to new languages.

Sorry, I formulated this a bit unclear, advanced in the "advanced into their studies" sense. Not freshmen. (Thus, "advanced, third-year")

I don't think Devs are lower on some kind of "hierarchy level" than CS students. But they have less time. That is all. The article wants devs to learn completly new CS concepts without also saying that they need payed time to do so, as they otherwise have to learn in their free time for their job.
