Agree, the original works because it's framing it in a way that "I am a simple man, and I appreciate simpler ways and tools to deliver my stuff". It also has the essence of, "I once was there too, and I understand why you might make the same mistake, but think about what I'm saying".

This article, past the similar language, has very much a vibe of "this is the way to do it, trust in yourself, don't listen to haters, don't hire HR". Theres 0 mention of listening to customers or your team; the assumption is your instincts and existing skills are definitely good enough and you don't need to learn anything more?!
