Programmers sit in front of a screen all day, need to read through often huge files of exact quasi-mathematical expressions in a non-human language, and are have the technical skills to choose the kind of colorscheme and fontset they like the most. They usually choose dark background, bright text, and a monospace-font with serifs. Presumably, because they think, that this maximizes readability.

I think that daymode is gay at the moment, because it lacks contrast, but I guess it could be made to look good. Most of the pages I make are black on white too. But I guess that's because webdesign is still heavily influenced by print layout, and not, because it's so much better. Besides, design and readability aren't the same thing.

Yep. like one of those nice amber monochrome monitors that used to cost so much. Remember how those fancy new amber monochromes cost more than those dumb old green ones? I was one of those idiots that went for the amber. Now I realise that green was always better; I have my console set to green text on dark [but not black] background.

Not most macintosh or windows programmers that I ever met.

Its white backgrounds, black fonts, for 80%.

Expert coders use proportional fonts, for higher speed legibility as well, but do insist on serifs, and "coding fonts" with extra serifs.

I wasn't aware that there are Mac or Windows programmers. I thought all it's users can do is click and never change the presets.

I use VS code for many reasons but mainly because I like the colors
