He was talking about Thaumaturges in his post.
It was mentioned, but their main point about the retconning of 1.0 Jobs is still widely correct.
1.0 classes were mechanically retconned between patches 1.18 to 1.20 to better fit the battle team's ideas about how the game should play. This was also when the game introduced the job system, writing in brand new loreâ„¢. You can read about the massive 1.20 changes here. (Basically, they decided that FFXIV's classes should act more "traditional" and the battle system was adjusted to reflect this. CNJ became a healer and lost most elemental magic, THM stopped being about astral and umbral magic of life and death and became fire, ice and lightning. Other classes were adjusted, but these were the two where the lore and mechanics became the most separated.)
