This one's a total rewrite, but does re-use some concepts from the first one.
The existing doc has code that won't compile, and in general, is a bit heavy for getting started.
Instead, what I focused on was copy-pastable, modern .NET 6 (LTS release) samples. Concepts like acquiring a tracer (activitysource), starting a span (activity), wiring up an exporter, etc. can be covered in subsequent articles.
This would be considered a part of #1001
