Nearly all of them are tech companies trying to sell me stuff because I once bought something from them, tried their service or briefly thought about it. As I’m the head techie (by dint of been the only techie) , I’d be the one purchasing from them in the first place. I find a filter that sends everything to Marketing/Hardware and marks as read fairer than flagging them as spam. If you filter out all the people telling me they’ll be out the office, birthday announcements etc, all the vendors trying to sell me stuff and all the automated stuff (which I do automatically), I get less than 5 emails a day (I put my boss on Trello, it’s just better for what we need) which I check once at 11 and at 10 to 5. I’m ruthless about my time since I’m the only programmer.
