๐ Why I Still Support Light Mode (But Judge You Silently)

Look, I get it. Some people prefer light mode. Maybe you work in a sun-drenched office with floor-to-ceiling windows. Maybe you're a vampire who's trying to blend in. Maybe you just hate your eyes.
Here's a quick code example that looks better in dark mode (obviously):
function shouldUseDarkMode(): boolean {
const hasEyes = true;
const caresAboutThem = true;
return hasEyes && caresAboutThem;
}But Fine, I'll Support It
What else can I do, I'm pro choice. I respect bad choices.
"The customer is always right" โ someone who clearly never met a light mode user
Conclusion
So yes, I still support light mode. But every time you toggle that switch to "light," somewhere a developer sheds a tear.
Also you're wasting electricity, burning out the oled panel faster and your eyes don't like you anymore.
