No he didn't. He had a caveat.

That's not the case..he clearly says this is how I would do this differently.
None of this matters. Arguing about arguing is futile.
- mynameisvlad 4y ago“Unless this is an educational project” is not an appropriate caveat. Especially about a project that was clearly not submitted as an educational one.
- capableweb 4y ago> Background > This project started from two points: as part of my PhD, I had to become very familiar with working with NOAA forecast results (https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4725-3251 https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4725-3251). Separately, an old tablet set up as a "Magic Mirror,” and was using a weather module that relied on the Dark Sky API, as well as my Home Assistant setup. So when I heard that it was shutting down, I thought, "I wonder if I could do this.” Plus, I love learning new things (http://alexanderrey.ca/ http://alexanderrey.ca/), and I had been looking for a project to learn Python on, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity! Spoiler alert, but it was way more difficult than I thought, but learned a lot throughout the process, and I think the end result turned out really well! Seems perfectly fine to assume that this might be purely an exercise in order to learn as much as possible, rather than to build something that is trying to be as cost-effective and performant as possible.
