I did a triple-take "...at PostHog we've been avid users of GitHub since its early ARPANET days."

Yeah I don't get that, is it a joke? Pun? Some meaning that isn't how I'm (or your first two takes) reading it?

Even git's early days were well after the last ARPANET days.

Edit: I suppose they just mean 'since time immemorial', but in internets. Perhaps I'm just tired/'whooshed' but I think that was more confusing than they were going for!

Hey, I'm the author of the article, I sneakily put that bit in just to see who notices the absurd of it. ;) But sorry for the resulting triple-takes!
