Clearly you’ve never been a coder or engineer, where white text on black is the preferred method of nearly every single one i’ve worked with or met.  

Also programmer, using darkened editors for 10+ years, definitely healthier than staring at a bright white screen all day.

Counterpoint: I just kind of like dark mode.

Too many options is bad?

Sorry, read this article in dark mode, so I didn’t comprehend shit. 

“The orgiastic frenzy over dark mode is, as far as I can tell, the result of the bandwagon effect” — Or: I, like many, have a history of using Dark Mode from long before it was called Dark Mode the moment it became available in any app....

You guys are really desperate for content huh

As someone who programs for 8-12 hours a day for work, I can say with full confidence that Dark Mode reduces eyestrain for me. I used to have to wear computer glasses to get through a day of work, but with dark mode on I don’t need them. You can still use dark colored text with dark mode enabled without there being…
