On the one hand sure that would help him get into the industry, but on the other hand that can be the quickest way to tank both his enthusiasm and work quality.
Stellaris has hired modders before and the quality of their work plummeted because said modder was no longer the one in charge of both production quality and pace. Now they had someone in a management position stating what was to be done and how quickly.
They're actually really disruptive in a classical "monolithic deliverable" development ecosystem where you have a lead architect and a swarm of implementers.
Simply put, they think too much. They're good at agile, great at microservices, but a nuisance otherwise.

Devs can do some QA in the same way that devs can do some UI design but QA is a completely separate skillset. They are not the same job.
Good QA people are some of the best people to have on your team. Fortunately bad QA people are mostly just useless so they aren't an active detriment to productivity.
