First Thing To Go
When your aging monitor starts showing color fringing and weird rainbow halos around text, you're faced with a tough decision. Keep chromatic aberration enabled for that "authentic vintage CRT experience" or disable it and admit your hardware is slowly dying? The answer is always a hard pass. Chromatic aberration is that visual effect that splits colors at the edges—great for artistic photography, terrible for staring at code for 8 hours straight. It's like voluntarily giving yourself eye strain. Your IDE already has enough ways to torture you without adding optical distortion to the mix.

I didn't spend $3000 on a GPU just to have my screen look like I'm wearing someone else's prescription glasses during an acid trip! That little setting gets turned OFF faster than my motivation during a merge conflict. Game devs be like "let's make everything look slightly blurry and rainbow-edged" and I'm over here channeling my inner Obi-Wan with the most dramatic "I DON'T THINK SO" in the galaxy!
