You could have answered him:
Only because I am better programmer than you will ever imagine in your more obscure and wet dreams, it doesn't mean that I know everything about the Arduino world. There is a difference between not being familiar with the Arduino and not being able to program crazy things that work.

I would not go into a pissing context. I would have said that and let it there.

I mean, I don't know what he can imagine. I find myself to be a competent but flawed developer. I guess I could have put on an ego for that response though.

Looking at what you were told... I suppose not much. Because one doesn't need to be Einstein to see the difference between being able to program and asking a question in an online forum about something you are not that sure and want help or confirmation.

I agree.

Ha! I just had something like that happen -- on a different site. A moderator complained that I was causing them to actually have to work! Oh my! Not that!

How are you verifying the noise? What exactly is he claiming is not true?

He was claiming that my code could not run on 8-bit and 64-bit both. He said my claim "doesn't make sense"
I verified the noise through the built in Arduino IDE serial monitor. I solved it by removing conditional preprocessor defines i made from the ino file which is mysterious that it was causing the problem, but then the Arduino IDE is a godawful piece of trash and it mangles your C++ code "for you" behind your back so who knows?

Have you tried PlatformIO[^]? It allows you to use VScode to write code for Arduino and other embedded platforms.

Yeah, I'm in the middle of switching to it entirely but I have a client that needs to be able to upload my code and I'm not sure I want to take on helping get them set up, so I still have to rely on Arduino IDE since PlatformIO requires source changes to function.
I greatly prefer real C++ over those INO files.

You might try avrfreaks but I find they're pretty arrogant at times also.

I used to be a moderator and administrator for an active site with over 100K members and it was a real PITA. I was constantly inundated with requests from people to be made moderators and eventually I came to the same conclusion Robert Heinlein came to about politicians : anyone who wants to be one (moderator/politician) should not be allowed to be.
That's every bit as true today as it was in his day, if not more so.

I would get thrown out, and / or swore at, by the guy in the corner office when I would pose the hard questions.
When I suggested using a smaller font instead of redesigning a report due to a new column, he lost it.
He later admitted he didn't realize you could change font sizes on "non-impact" printers.
Or, asking too many questions means "you're not getting it". So I stopped asking.
It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it.

It's supposed to rain Christmas eve and I was afraid Santa wouldn't be able to make it but my SO reminded me that Santa has Reindeer.
I haven't had my coffee yet...

I'll tell ya' something. If you give it a good think, Santa and his reindeer are out all night landing on rooftops and what-not. Now Santa may make a "pit stop" in some of the homes he invades but what about the reindeer? Do you think they can wait 24 hours or so?
Be glad of the rain to wash away any potential debris left behind . . .

An America couple was being shown around Moscow one day, when the man felt a drop hit his nose.
“I think it’s raining,” he said to his wife.
“No, that felt more like snow to me,” she replied.
“No, I’m sure it was just rain,” he said.
Well, as these things go, they were about to have a major argument about whether it was raining or snowing.
“Let’s not fight about it!” the man said. “Let’s ask our guide, Rudolph, whether it’s officially raining or snowing.”
As their tour guide approached, the man said, “Tell us, Comrade Rudolph, is it officially raining or snowing?”
“It’s raining, of course,” he replied officiously.
But the woman insisted, “I know that it felt like snow!”
The man quietly replied, “Rudolph, the Red, knows rain, dear!“
