He gave a description of how linking against libraries from any language 
(C, Pascal, Go, Ada, ...) works on Unix-like systems. It is not related

A developer in this context is anyone to compiles/links programs that 
use this library (i.e., program developers). It's not about people who 
work on the library itself. They don't use the devel package, but the 
source.
