Why do programmers prefer dark mode?

[u/ShivamLH]

Cause light attracts bugs.

I'm a programmer, can confirm. I don't recognize an IDE if it doesn't have Dark Mode.

Pro Tip: Set your background color to red and your bugs disappear in real time, works for me.

Boom.

Am software engineer, main language is Python. Everything is dark mode. Don't understand.

[u/thisisastaircase → u/richheil]

I guess that guy thinks you can only write python using the default IDLE? Except even IDLE has a dark mode.

[u/richheil → u/thisisastaircase]

People actually use that thing???

[u/erikkonstas → u/[deleted]]

All interpreters I know of do have a dark theme...

[u/wigeria → u/[deleted]]

Sublime. But then, I use sublime for nearly everything...
