Hey #Mastodon, I'm facing a peculiar situation at my workplace and I need your judgment on whether I am the asshole here. For context, I'm Jason Craste, a 29-year-old fullstack developer working at NebulaWeave.
A bit of background: in the programming world, there are various package managers one can use to manage project dependencies. For a long time, I've been using npm (Node Package Manager) which has served me well over the years. However, a majority of my colleagues have transitioned to using Yarn, another popular package manager. They claim it's faster, more reliable, and basically the next best thing since sliced bread.
They've formed a group that they've facetiously named "The Yarn Boys". Initially, it seemed all in good fun and an inside joke of sorts. But it escalated quickly to the point where they've been bullying me for not making the switch from npm to Yarn.
Things took a turn for the worse when they started excluding me from social events. Before this whole debacle, we used to hang out a lot, going out for drinks or playing TopGolf during the weekends. Now, they won't invite me to any gatherings, stating that it's a "Yarn Boys only" event and I would only be welcomed if I start using Yarn myself.
I feel this is completely childish and unprofessional. I believe in using what works best for me, and npm has never given me any significant issues. The shift to Yarn, in my opinion, doesn't warrant the kind of exclusion and ridicule I'm experiencing.
Moreover, I feel like our friendship is being tested over a minor disagreement on tool preference, which seems absurd. I miss the camaraderie we had, but at the same time, I don't want to switch just to appease them and get back into their good graces.
So, am I in the wrong for sticking to my guns and continuing to use npm despite the pressure from "The Yarn Boys"? #NeedAdvice #AmITheAsshole #JSDev -

Hey @kainoa! ๐ฅ๐
Been super impressed with what you've been doing with Firefish. Your perspective as the dev behind it would make for an incredible conversation on our podcast Quantum Quirks & Coffee Spills (cc: @TheDing ). Would you be interested in joining us for an episode? We'd love to dive into the journey, challenges, and future plans of Firefish with you. Let us know!
Cheers,
Jason Craste ๐ -

@rat First off, I must say I'm quite taken aback by your comment. Jumping to such a significant conclusion based on my recent post seems a bit... extreme? Accusing someone of being a federal agent on a public platform without any grounding or evidence isn't just reckless; it can potentially harm reputations.
It was a simple inquiry. I genuinely didn't (and still don't entirely) know what a "glowie" means. I came here to engage in meaningful, transparent tech discourse, and it's disheartening to be met with accusations rather than information.
I'd also like to point out that if I were operating in some undercover capacity (which, to be clear, I am NOT), it would be ludicrous for me to be so overt in my queries. Logic, my friend, is a good thing to practice before launching allegations.
The Mastodon community has always been a place of understanding, learning, and camaraderie. I've been proud to be a part of it, sharing my insights on fullstack development, bioluminescent tech, and more. However, this recent interaction has left a bitter taste.
If you have concerns or doubts about my intentions or identity, I'd appreciate a direct message to clarify things privately. Public accusations without a basis are harmful and, frankly, beneath what I've come to expect from this community.
To the wider Mastodon community, if "glowie" or any of these terms have a particular significance or history that I'm not aware of, I'm genuinely eager to learn. That was the entire point of my initial post. Let's return to a place of sharing knowledge and fostering understanding. -

Was chatting with a colleague about the future of bioluminescent tech. What if our entire workspace glowed? Bioluminescent mouse, monitors, chairs... A bit out there, but so were touchscreens once! ๐
