Irritated by coworker

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. Newish to scraping because I usually only scrape a particular site.

A coworker left after developing a code for scraping this site. The HTML backend was updated after and I had to purge and revamp the code from zero to get it to work. People think I am still using the old code I received from this person.

Another suckup coworker was told to get this script from me and run it on other versions of the same site. They are a code runner but know zero of debugging (think giving up and calling me for every small instance of an error). Now they end up getting all the managers’ requests to scrape the site (and hence the hours) while I get calls from this person to debug it on teams which I cannot charge to said project(s) even if I am essentially doing the job.

Am I wrong for being territorial about my script and wanting for the site to change its HTML backend again asap for me to get my chance to shine? Let me know.

Okay. Not chasing validation, but I need to know if I am wrong, with genuine reason.

For reference, I am a South Asian (very brown, not a fair skinned/white passing South Asian by any means), and I am painfully aware of overt, covert and systemic racism, inter-minority hate, performative progressivism and I did teach a class on Race and Social Justice to graduate students.

I don’t know if I am genuinely in the wrong if I am wanting to be at a Black Pride event. I understand what it may come across as, I am aware fetishization is a problem, people not getting a dedicated space/voice is an issue, sadly. I don’t even go to the standard pride because I feel left out. Please feel free to let me know if I am genuinely in the wrong to be at a black pride event, whether as an ally, supporter, or otherwise. I do see his point to a fair degree, and it is valid to a certain extent. Not seeking validation, but it does make me want to know what other people’s perspective on it is and if I should rather not go to any such events ever.
