These types of responses are always so low value, they should be auto filtered out. How is Claude Code different than Codex, how is x different from y, etc. Read the repo and figure it our for yourself, good grief.

Because of the way humans learn, and everyone’s reference point being different (e.g. I know this, I don’t know that), this is very valuable if the author can provide a good explanation. That’s why there are books/docs like “rust for rubyists” and similar. I love finding these explanations later. Not everything needs to be researched yourself if you can get a clear/concise answer from the person trying to share/excite/get feedback on their project.
also - not everything needs to be unique. I think that is a leftover of some VC mind washing "you need a moat!". Many things can be great, and do somewhat similar things.
At that point this who submission should be auto filtered out since there are dozen of these and they are barely distinguishable except for couple of opinioned choices.
