Is that the same Eric Brewer from Inktomi?

Yes, that's him :)

I imagine he's done some noteworthy things since? That's like introducing Elon Musk as "Founder of X.com."

Essentially it comes across as "I'm a fan of your early work, but nothing you've done since matters."

He's done a bunch of stuff, but CAP is probably his most popular work. Even Wikipedia says that's what he's "known for".
