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?

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.

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 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.

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.

Physical? As in a medical exam with a doctor?

If so you should really have a check up with an eye doctor, there are lots of eye health tests that you should regularly get beyond checking that you can read a chart at a distance.

This right here, guy is like "I can't see the light shooting at my eyes, but every thing is okay otherwise, I'll just live with it."
