I can’t agree with this more. I’m a 52 year old coder with older eyes and light mode with decent background lighting works much better for me than any other option.

I’m also old enough to recognise the current fashion trend for dark mode is exactly that - a current fashion trend. They come and go all the time in every area and can be ignored if they don’t work for you.

If you’re more productive in light mode stick with it, stop worrying, and ignore the sheep who say dark mode is better. You can churn out code while they fiddle with their IDE settings to optimise the latest productivity hack.
