Good. Perhaps you know a thing or two.
Dev don't know shit.
Some guy on slack had to spoon-feed this bloody noob for days until he got it.
Instead of acknowledging the problem and working on a solution dev got cocky like a triggered snowflake.
Grade-school comments such as "dev got cocky like a triggered snowflake" don't help anybody nor adds context, and make you look like a noob.
As context for everybody here, a discussion was had yesterday regarding the difficulty calculation and I joined it by saying: "I'll look into the difficulty calculation as well to see what can be done there" (was going to look into it after work, PST, v0.1.2.0 being the result)
Somebody was upset at the situation we have (due to be fixed in the upcoming hard fork), went through an unnecessary temper tantrum because it wasn't done right that very second, and everything he had said was filled with logical fallacies, mainly ad hominem attacks, and had little in terms of facts to back up what he was saying.
The said person in passing had indirectly mentioned "a coin you mentioned on bitcointalk" which prompted me to look into Sumokoin, and because it was an easy thing to check, within minutes I found the solution that addresses it by considering the statistical distribution of blocks, as well as the explanation of the issue (

I worked on this immediately after my employment requirements were done for the day, and submitted v0.1.2.0 due in the upcoming protocol upgrade / hard fork.
Humans are emotional, and the user's emotions in the Slack group were getting the better of him, even though they were well intentioned. We'll all go through this though and everything is okay.
Cheers,
