Tone and word choice is actually the problem here. :)
One example: “normal-person frontends” immediately makes the statement a judgement about people. You could have said regular, typical, or normal instead of “normal-person”.
Saying your coworkers often come to you to fix problems and your solutions almost always work can come off as saying you’re more intelligent than your coworkers.
The only context your readers have are the words you write. This makes communication a damned nuisance because nobody knows who you are and they only know about you from what they read.
That descriptor was more intended to be a self-deprecation joke at my expense but your interpretation is fair.
