Well since you ask… Yes, blatantly. You are constantly saying "I could fix that in five minutes “ and various other phrases like that.
No, no you could not. If there is a team working on a problem and that team has at least one Ph.D. in that specific field and it is taking weeks or months to complete then your statements along these lines are untrue, self-serving, and infuriating.
The sad thing is that you often have some good points but it is hard to take you at all serious when you spew such amphigory.
Yes if it does really need weeks or months for a team of programmers to change the direction I would be wrong. However I would be very surprised if it is more than a two line change to reverse the Y axis direction and a one or two line change to iterate over the lines in an image in the opposite order. If that is the case I would be correct.
Very hard to say, so what I will do is try to knock up very small 3D laser printer myself and show you the code changes needed to make it engrave the other way.
