I also experience Deuteranopia. I am usually only impacted if I'm trying to read a chart which requires that I map the colors in a legend to the colors on the lines/bars. This is usually impossible for me to do if there are >2 colors.

I use IntelliJ for my IDE, which has a color blind mode plugin. Before I discovered this, there were shades of orange and red that made some of the syntax highlighting useless.

My company uses Bitbucket, and the red/green colors they use for "lines added" and "lines removed" in code reviews are really hard to see. I usually have to use the side-by-side diff instead of the unified diff. Example here [1].

Otherwise, there's no real impact IMO. If I'm working on front-end stuff, I just use the hex codes that the designers tell me to use. If I'm working with a designer that is particularly interested in accessibility, they'll often ask me "hey can you see the colors on this layout?".
