“This project will only take 2 hours”
https://github.com/owenfi/clipboardcopies
The article does strike me as "scope creep" or missing the point of the question...I've taken this super crappy version and added it to my startup items, I think I might find it useful, and if I do it might grow over time. The polish can happen later if needed. I was able to accommodate a bit of the polish out of the gate by saving to individual files based on the time. The granularity roughly corresponds with the polling frequency. (Turns out there isn't a clipboard did change notification?)
To me the "complexities" are those things lurking beneath the surface, that a newbie doesn't know how to resolve, and an expert forgets to even point out. In this case the complexities I saw were:

Clipboards, Terminals, and Linux
The common xclip utility can be used to get or set clipboards. And, there's a tiny little utility script called clipnotify that I found really useful for debugging this. I cloned and built it, then ran it in a loop:

Take My App Ideas
I don't think time to learn bash or programming intuition can reasonably be included in the timeframe to build a product. It's assumed that time starts after you come up with the idea to do something, and retroactively saying "this project took me a year" for something you created in a few hours is ... odd.
I agree that the time spent to find the libraries and their documentation should be factored in, so I'd like to note that that part of the process took ... 3 ddg searches (so +a few mins).

Using clipnotify[0], one could fix the busy-wait issue pretty easily.
