As far as I can tell, this piece is irrelevant to the rest of the article.

That's just a way to humble brag. If you read the paragraph, it doesn't actually say much:

> I was born in a developed country in the 80s (Italy), with access to fresh water, very good carbohydrates and a decent education system.

Yea, I was born in a "developing" aka "backward" middle eastern country in the 80s, but I still had access to fresh water and good food and decent education. Some of my cousins lived through civil wars and still managed to learn computer progrmaming while living in the civil-warn torn country.
