Tell me, Dev.to - do you use a dark background in your editor and terminal, or a light background? And now tell me - why?
(Maybe it's neither. Maybe you're like the frontend dev who sits two desks in front of me at work and it's a BRIGHT RED background in his terminal. All the time. Every day. It hurts my eyes from 10 meters away. What a hero.)

Dark, too much white fatigues my eyes.
Plus, fun color contrasts pop more for me on dark mode!
Mostly dark. I occasionally switch to a light theme if I'm working on a bright sunny day. I try to "night mode" as much as possible - partly for readability, partly for battery saving, partly because I'm a big goth 😎
teamDark because I'm a vampire and the light theme burns my eyes D:>
dark, always.
dark.
Always dark, unless working outside in bright sunlight.
Light of course, not all apps and website supports dark mode and switch between them (light to dark and dark to light) negative affect on eyes.
p/s night mode with dark mode look so bad...
I use dark mode because I'm used to it and like the aesthetic. On websites I use a plugin that automatically invert the brightness if the website doesn't have a dark mode.
I'm considering swapping to a color or theme to use everywhere instead, since that sounds fun.
Dark, like the Darth Vader!!!
No preference. I'm going to have to try the bright red.
