I don't why it's so surprising to you nighas but most tech are terminally online and rot on forums, Discord servers, or endlessly refreshing Reddit and X. The setup is practically designed for it once the morning coding burst or alert triage is done there's often hours of dead time while builds run, reviews pile up, or systems just sits there. Literally nothing to do. Some spend it to upskilling, some use it to rot on forums and niche communities
Most of Techcels are introverts who gravitate to tech because it lets many you avoid people. These same people will be terminally online regardless of if it's at work or at home if they have a job it just moves the rotting from home to the office Agile sprints and on call rotations naturally create gaps in t entire work day where you are doing nothing. A lot of time goes in planning sessions, waiting for CI/CD pipelines, or monitoring dashboards.
You are already glued to the screen anyway so why wouldnt anyone alt-tab to a private Discord, lurking looksmax.org, or arguing in niche forums. My co worker literally has been rotting on slack forums for almost a decade.
Privacy screen on the monitor extra screens, noise canceling headphones. You'll find people with these in all tech spaces to pass their time. Most managers don't give a fuck either. They only care that tickets move and nothing breaks. Although it depends on company culture.
