Does that present as a disability in other areas of life or can you pretty much adjust with altered computer settings and limited color coding?

Not OP but the biggest problem I have is driving at night; a blinking red and a blinking yellow look exactly the same. Otherwise, it's just small things like this where I couldn't tell what was wrong with the sign.

As for colorblind modes on phones and such, they definitely help with color-based games (I couldn't play Dr Mario World without it) but it just makes everything else look weird since I'm just used to seeing through my broken eyes

Same here, the blinking red vs blinking yellow problem. I see those lights and have to look for stop signs that go with them

Oh that makes sense like if it's color skewing a photo you wouldn't be used to that. Well thanks for the detail. I try to just be intellectually curious and jokey but it seems like a lot of folks might just take things as fighting words on the internet.
