Junior devs leave everything in ~~dark~~ bright mode. Senior devs have learned to protect their eyes... While doing nothing but email and meetings...

Edit: Fix word swap. I'm not one of those crazy light mode users, I swear.

How does white mode...
It makes my eyes hurt even during the day. At least unless I turn down the brightness, usually to minimum.

Try not to work in pitch darkness :)

The brightness adjustment is there for you to adjust it.

Light mode definitely is not better for the health of your eyes.

Depends. If you're working in a well lit environment, like you should, dark screens are harder to read.

And if you've got astigmatism, like you shouldn't, the color-on-black contrast is really hard to read.

I have crazy bad astigmatism and work in a bright room and still cannot stand light mode on anything

Use dark mode in sunlight for a few hours and then tell me how it's good for you.
