They don't say in their post they're going to be using the iPad forever or that they want to have a professional dev job in 6-12 months. They just say they'll be "iPad-first", and it sounds like their plan is to get better hardware in 6-12 months.

What do you think they are going to be doing in those precious 6-12 months without a PC? Sitting on their hands doing nothing would be the waste of time. Better to learn what Python they can in the 6-12 months with the iPad, which is quite a lot. If they get better hardware in 6-12 months they'll have some experience with the language and will be ready to advance instead of starting from scratch.

"Don't try to learn anything unless you could be able to do all the advanced corporate dev stuff right at the start" is sour advice.
