Good advice. I think health is really important and sometimes hard to measure, but if people are extremely edgy or as you say, hostile, it's a good indicator that some time off or half a day off is needed.
Recently I added a small bug into production (it wasn't serious, but it was on code that was out of my boundary and I did not test properly). When the leader from that team told me about it and saw how sorry I felt for it, he finished the conversation with: "It's okay, it can happen to anybody".
That made me feel great and it's also important to emphasize that mistakes (big or small) can happen to anyone and ever since, I almost always try to start any urgent issue with "it's fine", or "it's okay".
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
