Are you OK? I just asked a question, which implies that I cared enough to at least ask.

  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.
