This is a release of a dataset, to help people train machine learning models. That's why the blog post says "We’re also releasing a large dataset to help data scientists build models for this task."

We also provide a way to evaluate how well your machine learning model works. That's why the blog post says "We’re announcing the CodeSearchNet Challenge evaluation environment."

The released data and code (and hence, the announcement) are meant for data scientists and ML researchers who want to work on this problem, and the rest of the world does not need to care. There are no products or applications of this work at this time. If the terms in the blog post don't mean anything to you, then you are not in the target audience for this announcement, and that's OK.
