This article is more about a cheap advertisement for Allen Holub rather than about actual achievements. E.g. in the article there is a list of former employers. There is nothing notable about him.

I have been unable to find any sources that contribute to notability of this subject. Yes, he has a few Google Scholar citations, but nothing like the number that could show a pass of
WP:PROF#C1 in the highly-cited field of computer science. I've tried to ignore that fact that the article claimed that he was a distinguished professor when in fact the source said "assistant adjunct professor".

Delete. Definitely does not pass
WP:PROF (only one publication with triple-digit citations in a high-citation field) but
WP:AUTHOR is possible if enough reviews of his many books can be found. I didn't find any reviews on Google Scholar or JSTOR but that's not entirely a surprise as they are not academic books. Maybe there are reviews in trade magazines? I'd be willing to change my opinion on this case if they turn up. —

Delete No sources found, agree that this does appear promotional. There are no reviews of his works, or much of anything discussing the person.
