Wrong Eric Ries? The writer of that blog claims to be a 65 yo Baby Boomer (would be 67 today), the one here is much younger than that iirc.

yes, this is the author: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Ries

Thanks for catching that, should have done a better job vetting that. The rest of my post is still true.

Yeah, the bio in About specifically mentions that they are not the famous one

Wow I didn’t know that.

That is deeply disappointing.
