I think I know what you mean but I can't help but feel like that sentence is denigrating the work of an entire discipline that _also_ works on "hard stuff" like figuring out how to address user need with usable interfaces.
I can see how that doesn't come across the way I worded it though. I'll try to wordsmith that line. Thanks for the feedback!

Now that of course depends heavily on what you consider to be minimally viable but there's generally not an expectation of professional design work.
If you're the kind of person who reached for bootstrap or material UI or other not semantic, boilerplate frameworks this might be appealing.
That sentence made me consider Poe's Law for a while, considering the weird fruits HustleSpeak is bearing quite often. Going by the author's bio, I'm most likely wrong.
