It's usually the second answer that begins with "[first answer] is bad and the real way to do it after update X is [code to copypaste]"

Speaking of verbose, it reminded me of the branch prediction question with the amazing (and verbose) first answer.

If you don't use DVORAK are you even a real programmer?/s
fuselfluppe
I am not a programmer but isn't Dvorak for writing more efficiently? But coding are not normal words..
scellers
But Dvorak is literally awful for coding. It's meant to be better for normal text. Terrible conflicts for keys that are often used in code.
Was going to teach my son DVORAK but realized it'll make it hard on him everywhere he has to use a normal keyboard. Gonna teach QWERTY first
It's like the metric system. It's better but kid's gotta learn our 'MURICA units first.
TreesNStuff
Why would I use DVORAK when I can use COLEMAK?

Kargathia
I do. Dark mode always seems so much harsher.
SaltCollector
Funny, I would have given the same reason for the inverse. I put everything I can into "darkmode", I just find it less intense on the eyes.
Don't think I've ever heard darkness described as harsher than light. Is it like a deafening silence or something else entirely?
For me, it's just harder to recognize white letters on black background. Especially if the 'dark mode' is done poorly. Imgur does it nicely)
[1] Personal impression is that there is a much sharper transition between letters and background. Dark mode works well on my phone...
... with brightness turned all the way down, but that approach doesn't really work on my desktop monitor.
ChlebaNamazanejHovnem
Dark mode is for wannabes programmers, who want to look like hackers in the first scene.Pros use properly lit work environment and lightmode
eldorel
it's also for people with eye problems, or who use multiple screens and don't like to feel like they're in a tanning booth.
I have two 100 watt light bulbs in my room to compensate for lack of sunlight. And light mode is much better at this lightning.
I use ~150w equivalent LED bulbs and have 5000K stage lights for video... My LCDs can still cast shadows on my desk with white images.
Hmm, I guess it depends on the monitor. I've never had such thing. And it always feels like there is not enough light.
PossiblePotato
Darkmode saves my eyes
Programmers who get shit done.
Programmers who get shit done config their IDE/environment once a year and back it up so that they don't have to waste time with it later.
1/ One of my colleagues is a one-man team all by himself and he builds an entire country-level governmental web platform with... notepad++.
3/ He's 57, still eager to learn and to teach. His IDE (eh) is white and I don't think he has change settings for 5 years, indeed :D.
2/ He's a really good two fingers touch typist and he does speak 10 words of English.
I get shit done, and I prefer not needing glasses, thank you very much.
Many ppl don't have a problem with white screens, so this point is moot for them.
Many people don't have a problem yet*. This point goes for anyone whether they are aware of the facts or not.
What facts ? Every article I read about light vs dark mode was a toss up. Sometimes dark mode is better sometimes light mode is better.
papayaparty
I do. It's so much more relaxing than white over black
How? The dark relaxes me a lot more. Just seeing the light makes me whince of the thought of looking at that screen.
How about not setting your display's brightness to retina-burning, and having some ambient lighting to reduce eye strain?
I do both and still prefer dark mode over light mode.
Even the lowest brightness on every LCD i've had is enough to illuminate an entire room to the point where I can read a paper printout.
I use 5000K, 120w equivalent bulbs for lighting in my office, and my screens can STILL cast shadows on my desk with a white background.
I do, 50% of the time. Also, I don't think Eclipse has night mode.
It might not have one I suppose. It's just that I haven't seen such a white IDE since I last used Eclipse, which is about 6 years ago now.
My bad, probably it's not Eclipse.
