Puzzling indeed. Afaik Dogecoin is pretty much a 1:1 clone of an old version of Bitcoin, and the founder made it sound like it was a weekend's worth of work.

Technically, Litecoin, which was Bitcoin with some parameters tweaked (like more frequent blocks).

Then later they also removed the supply cap, which is a pretty fundamental change from the premise of bitcoin, so it’s no longer a trivial copy, I would say.
