The software developers in a technology firm are split into two teams, 'Pixel' (frontend) and 'Data' (backend). Recently, relations between the two groups have deteriorated. Members of 'Pixel' have begun accusing the 'Data' team of deliberately slowing down API integrations, while 'Data' members frequently mock the frontend developers in public channels. Both teams are competing to win a single corporate performance bonus and to secure sole occupancy of the newly built high-tech collaboration suite.
Using your knowledge of realistic conflict theory, explain the hostility between the members of 'Pixel' and 'Data'.
