I think he was complimenting you all around, not just by asking about your background as a technical writer. When he mentioned other writers' failure to make sensible technical predictions, the implication was that, unlike them, you'd actually succeeded. (Which isn't surprising, I suppose, given the tech chops to which you've just confessed modestly.)
Strange, isn't it? People don't want to be kiss-asses, nor do they want to come off as boring. So instead, they write funny compliments that end up brimming with unintentional sarcasm.
Trust me, Tweert liked it, and so did everyone else. With the exception of bifcake's misgivings (and I'm not disrespecting him, either), your review's getting raves all round.
