In my experience, those who moan about the simplicity of others' work are the least likely to release something of their own.
Not everything needs to have a machine learning moon-rocket-launching cryptomining discombobulator to be useful and a job well done.

You misread his comment. He's bemoaning wannaba devs creating these readme "projects" not the owners of the actual clone projects that actually do require programming skills.
I agree with him, these readme compilation things are just dev.to bait
Classic HN gatekeeping, this is so unnecessarily degrading. Everyone starts somewhere, and like it or not, making clones is a very good way to learn about the basics of web dev. If they make a good clone and want to share it and get feedback, what's the harm?
