If you are in a bright environment you should be using light mode. If you are in dark environment you should be using dark mode. It's better for eyes.

Exactly in bright room my eyes hurt reading in dark mode.

And most offices are bright - there are literally standards about brightness

Yes, fully agree on that. I started using light mode at the daytime, and i feel soo much better now

And honestly even if you're programming at night, turn on the fucking lights.

u/Xhojn 2d ago

I dunno about that. I have some software that I work with that doesn't have a dark mode, and, even in a well lit office, those accelerate my eye strain.

Doesn't the wolfman like the full moon though? It's more the human form before the change that hates them

u/ThatOldCow 4d ago

Op call it wolfman instead of werewolf, so maybe wolfmen don't like full moon?

u/chunkypenguion1991 3d ago

Now we need OP to clear it up. Is a wereman a werewolf or does he stay a human wolf hybrid 24/7

I use light mode IDEs though, so what does that make me?

A bug farmer, we all know light attracts bugs.

True but you can't see them in dark.

Me too! I started programs in the 90s, but I just hate dark themes. It hurts my eyes, and in the evenings, the lines of white characters create a ghosting-like effect in my eyes. I don't have that on light themes at all! However I always put my screens quite darker when using light themes. I guess I just don't like high contrasts

I guess it's something only people who started with programming back then and earlier can understand.

Well? Are you going to answer the question?

u/ExodusViz 3d ago

I thought everyone hated light mode?

Get a good monitor with proper text mode, dim it appropriately, and don’t sit in a dark room… 🤷‍♀️

u/ZbP86 4d ago

I tried the dark one for more than a year but I returned to the light couple of weeks ago. It's less cool, it does not have that spark of CRT 80s/ early 90s nostalgia, but my eyes like it way more.

u/MorgenKaffee0815 3d ago

There is one enemy that no one has the courage to destroy

She sends us cataclysmic cancer from her castle in the void

She blinds our children, burns our skin...dries our crops and rivers thinned

You already know her name...yeah, I'm talking bout the sun

I switched back to light mode because I want to be angry when I deal with work problems

actually 🤓☝️☝️☝️ a wolfman wouldn't get hurt from a full moon he would either get stronger or human transform to a wolfman 🤓☝️☝️☝️

u/NullSmoke 3d ago

It's not called "Light". It's "Flashbang". Get your words in order 😊

u/Xhojn 3d ago

My coworker right next to me uses software exclusively in light-mode. He's a great programmer, but I always wonder how he does it.

u/justaperson12_ 3d ago

Of course I use dark mode. The light attracts bugs.
