did it have the desired effect? as a general rule rather than blindly
do something "as if being ordered/demanded", you should assume that
the person with the experience and knowledge but extreme-limited time
is simply too busy to do anything other than give very terse guidance,
that it is your responsibility to "intelligenrly think through the
missing pieces of what they are trying to say", and to give feedback
that saves that more senior and extremely-busy person less work to do.

so rather than *you* being terse as a "reaction" to me being terse
*by necessity*, you need to be much more verbose, much more responsive,
and say "Order inverted, unit tests showed better/worse results
as shown below, my next planned step is to do XYZ" ok?

also due to timeconstraints as you can see i made a mistake in reading
the diffs (comment #32), so it is critically important that you
actually think "hm is this request making any sense?" and if the unit
tests don't pass for example *don't just "blindly do it", query it!

i.e. you need to work on providing feedback, compensating for the
project manager simply being too busy, and thus you don't end up
down blind alleys that waste your time, nor make their life difficult
by being unresponsive, such that they spend considerable time to provide
long explanations of the expected interactions, such as this one, as
well as spending time having to chase you up.
