Read the article twice and quite a bit suprised that the author did not touch at all on the fact that his acceptance and welcoming into the Berlin scene could be to do with this success at Heroku.

By all means, Adam is most certainly an exceptionally talented individual and his personality and drive must have contributed to his success in Berlin.

However not even touching the subject that he had such a warm welcome might be related to Heroku and therefore not freely available to everyone seems quite an oversight.

Agreed. Who you are has a ton to do with how successful you are in whatever your endeavor is. He may believe he's just an average joe, but that is far from the case.
