Not currently working as a programmer, but I have worked as one in the past.
I only drink decaf, and I will have a cup a few times a week that I make as a pour over for myself. If I am feeling crazy, I will make two.
I am very sensitive to caffeine, and it impacts my sleep very negatively. I tried decreasing caffeinated coffee to half a cup early in the day (e.g., 8 or 9 am), and it didn't matter. I sleep much better when I don't drink caffeinated coffee (or any drink that has very much caffeine).
That said, my understanding is that decaf actually has a small amount of caffeine, but it does not seem to impact my sleep at all. I wonder if the amount of caffeine is actually that low in decaf.
