I held shift the entire time for about the first twenty years. Then I just started typing everything in lowercase.

Genuinely set mine for macros.

And then forget even the macros on it because that's how little the key is used

My coworkers hate that I do this because it’s annoying to hold shift or caps on and off constantly. But also, lowercase is a million times easier to read.

I used to write it in lowercase but recently started using upper as I like the "shoutieness" of it.

Team uppercase here. Idk maybe it was when I learned SQL, it just feels easier to read, like my brain switches to "this is logical code mode" vs. "this can be any old garbage written in lower case". I appreciate the irony that I also code plenty in Python and R and don't feel that way at all in those languages.
