Oh! That's a really good answer I'd not even thought of. Do you have any means of combatting that, like blue light glasses?

I use 3 techniques: my glasses do have a blue light coating, the Windows night light setting is awesome (set it more intensely than you think - it won't look orange after a couple days!), and I use dark mode everywhere I can (OS settings, themes, browser extensions, etc).

Overall, I'd say the night light setting and using dark mode have the biggest impact.

Nice! Do do you mind if I quote you in an article I'm working on about what devs hate the most about being a developer? I really liked your answers!

Rad! Thanks for that! I'm happy to link to your Twitter, LinkedIn, something like that if you want, and I'll drop a link to the article once it's out.
