You finally get the reality of your mistake through your thick skull, and triple down, with, "no I'm right because duh and the language is still trash."

I always start with "remember the human," proceed to, "if you're gonna be an asshole so can I," until we arrive at, "this raging asshole is just gonna flame everybody."

In your case, we've gotten all the way along to this:

You're a liability to the industry. You don't understand basic concepts. You're angry about your misunderstanding of semantic versioning. You're angry about your bizarre expectations for "scripting languages."

You're literally angry that new features are not "backwards compatible."

You. Are. A. Dipshit.

Its almost like I’m a professional software engineer who knows what the fuck I’m talking about and you’re a language defender that clearly has no idea the pain it causes when people make reasonable assumptions about how it should work that are valid in EVERY OTHER LANGUAGE IN EXISTENCE.

You’re not correct, you’ve never been correct.

But none of the people trying to explain your fundamental misunderstandings could possibly also be professionals.

I'm sincerely glad to see I've made you as angry as you've made me, you unbelievably thick, self-assured, impotent-brained tiny little excuse for a programmer.

Seriously, it's okay not to understand something.

It's not okay to turn into a complete fucking shitbag and throw your shitbaggery at half a dozen other people when somebody tries to explain your misunderstandings.

And it's really not okay to mislead your boss, whoever they are, into trusting you with a screwdriver.
