    The senior dev left monitor looking like those Instagram posts that increase your phone brightness by 100x

    Why is this being downvoted? Doesn’t it make sense that senior developers spend more time sending emails than staying up through the night writing code?

      I don’t understand how you got that from the image.

      Both monitors on the senior side of the image are showing coding environments

        What do you mean? You don’t write your email in your IDE and lint it before copy/pasting it into Outlook (or email client of choice)?

          CI / CD baby, every autosave my build pipeline clones my email, transpiles it into more easily understood archaic English and then sends a copy to the intended recipient while kicking off a chron job to send an automated follow up email to them and everyone they’re contacts with 2 hours from commit time.

      Junior devs leave everything in dark bright mode. Senior devs have learned to protect their eyes… While doing nothing but email and meetings…

      Edit: Fix word swap. I’m not one of those crazy light mode users, I swear.

          Depends. If you’re working in a well lit environment, like you should, dark screens are harder to read.

          And if you’ve got astigmatism, like you shouldn’t, the color-on-black contrast is really hard to read.

    Used dark (not black) themes everywhere for 8 years. My eyesight is still good according to my annual physical, but recently I’ve noticed that I have a hard time reading text written on a dark background. It is slightly blurred, especially when there is no light in the room.

    Somewhere I still use dark themes, but I always try to switch to light mode if things look okay with code highlighting or smth.

    My homeoffice setup is right next to a window, so it’s too bright for dark mode during the summer. So I work in light mode from about April-September and in dark mode for the rest of the year

    Dual monitors are so 2000’s. It’s all about the single large ultra-wide monitor now. You get the benefits of a dual monitor setup without the line in the middle and the RSI neck pain issues.
