It does seem vague though. It’s almost akin to saying “I could’ve done this in half the code”. Well add your PR then.

From my perspective, there are two reasons why someone would build an entire project instead of opening a PR: * Merely to be able to point and it and say, "see? see? I was right!" How obnoxiously childish. * Implementing his ideas into a mature/non-greenfields codebase wasn't in-fact "extremely simple."
