I find it easier to read prose when it's dark text on a light background, but I find it easier to read code when it's light text on a dark background. Maybe it has to do with proportional vs. monospace fonts?

- CoffeeDregs 16y agoAgreed, but, for me, it has to do more with the fact that syntax highlighting seems more highlight-y on a black background and I depend on syntax highlighting to guide my eye. Somehow dark red vs black on a white background doesn't "pop" as much as red vs white on a black background.
