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)?
Found the emacs user.
A senior dev writes a program to generate her email.
I have actually done this, and for more than just automated responses. It was before ChatGPT, though; now, I'd be surprised if even junior devs aren't doing it.
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.
How does white mode...
It makes my eyes hurt even during the day. At least unless I turn down the brightness, usually to minimum.
Try not to work in pitch darkness :)
The brightness adjustment is there for you to adjust it.
Light mode definitely is not better for the health of your eyes.
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.
I have crazy bad astigmatism and work in a bright room and still cannot stand light mode on anything
Use dark mode in sunlight for a few hours and then tell me how it's good for you.
