It appears that the author originally reached out to her because she wanted to offer mentorship. Then she realized that the code wasn't the work of someone who'd need a mentor, but an experienced developer who'd done the actual coding. And the girl had the gall to downplay the level of "help" she received.

Instead of the talented and hard-working individual she expected, the author found someone who'd take credit for the work of others to gain internet fame. I don't think this article is the best reaction to that (hurling insults usually doesn't help anyone), but I can understand how she'd get pissed about that kind of behavior.
