If someone posts something on GitHub, I will appreciate it for what it is, whether it "works" or not. Maybe I will adapt it to my needs. Maybe I will open an issue. Whatever. If someone promotes something that doesn't work, they can expect the feedback you have described. Many developers suffer from lack of empathy: they can't understand how their work will look to others, and, if there is documentation, it doesn't answer the obvious questions others will ask. Fine, so long as they don't waste my time with self-promotion of something that they are unable to see through the eyes of others. The negativity is fair payback for my wasted time getting sucked into something that the developer falsely promoted as fit for some purpose.
