Give the author some grace. Sheesh. You sound like a toxic senior dev

What about opening an issue with the incorrect results

I don't work for you.

I'm probably much nicer to the people I work with, but that's because an enormous amount of money is involved.

You want to have that kind of a conversation, I'll consider letting you tell me what to do, but you need to understand the service I'm providing for free doesn't come with that.

People don't like being told what to do. They are probably going to be in a bad mood if you waste their time with a bold claim that is so obviously false. You are lucky to have someone tell you that the software doesn't work, because you obviously wouldn't know otherwise.

Best of luck.


Oh well it’s nice to know that if we work together you’ll be nice since you’re being paid to be.

But do you treat others outside of work like this? What if your partner makes a mistake? Your kid thinks they’ve done something awesome but have a huge flaw in whatever it is?

Did you review this on company time? On your own time? How is your time being wasted giving feedback to another developer? You’re improving the community of developers. You don’t see the benefit of that?

I wonder how you tolerate failure? Weakness? In others. I don’t think well but what do I care? right? I’m not in the business of helping anyone better themselves or anything ;-)
