      Your retinas will be perfectly fine, if you make sure the whole room is lit. Sunlight is significantly stronger than the backlight from a monitor.

      Dark mode and a dimly lit room do make sense, if you’re coding something in the evening and don’t want to disrupt your circadian rhythm.

      Dark mode in the dark makes your pupils do funny things like constantly widening and narrowing. Dark mode with a backlight is the best. Any screen in the complete darkness is like self destruction to the eyes

        I don’t work in the dark. I work during the day, when my employment hours are. When it’s dark I’m not working anymore.

        This is why I’ve stuck around the intermediate level for a long time. my eyes cant take the super dark or super bright.

        Definitely just that reason and no others.
