No I think it implies that you wanted to appear to care in order to make a point.

oh. I really didn't, can you tell me what made it sound that way? I'm autistic and freely admit that I get words incorrect, and miss contexts.

I'm mostly OK at programming, but I like to learn, and HN is full of people who are much, much smarter than me who also like to share their knowledge.

Thank you for replying. I wasn't trying to make a point, I was just trying to learn why a seemingly utility function wasn't in some shared /lib/timestamps.ts or whatever.

I won't bother you further.

I didn’t say I was bothered, and I don’t think you were attacking me. I don’t think you misused anything and I fully grokked your context.

Sorry if my reply came off as snark or disgruntled.

Yes I am okay, my original comments was to make a point about general populace’s level of dedication to their employment and interest in the strict rules of good software design. The original commentary was a bit snarky.

Thank you for asking if I was alright it, it is important to reach out when snarkiness cannot be discerned from distress.
