"People need to get over themselves and stop giving unsolicited advice and other bullshit about people’s choice of theme."
...says the author of this article.
- lloydatkinson 3y agoIt seems you didn’t read the bullet list or justification at all.
- doktrin 3y agoCan't say I did either. Your aggressive tone concerning a topic that I don't have strong views on (at least, not this strong) on made me nope out pretty early.
- TomSwirly 3y agoIf you didn't read the article, I'm not entirely sure why you're commenting on it?
- lloydatkinson 3y agoIt’s the type of thing HN is meant to be better at; reading before commenting. I can guess both of them feel strongly about dark mode.
- doktrin 3y ago> It’s the type of thing HN is meant to be better at; reading before commenting. I'm under no obligation to read everything to completion. Your piece gave strong signals of being a poor fit for me, so I disengaged from it. Which is exactly what I said in my comment. > I can guess both of them feel strongly about dark mode. Again, this comes across as disproportionately hostile. I've already noted I don't have strong feelings on this topic, but you insist on interpreting everything as partisanship.
- doktrin 3y agoMoreso than commenting on the article, I'm sharing my feedback as to why I didn't finish it. Engagement and disengagement is often a metric of interest. I don't feel as though I need to justify myself beyond that.

- gjvc 3y agoOh, wait, this is your own inflammatory article you're shilling. Haha.
- discreteevent 3y agoThere is one context where it is legitimate to give unsolicited advice: Projection. Projectors don't work with dark mode and small text. It's frustrating to be in a meeting where someone is clicking around in their projected IDE while you strain yourself to pick up even half of what they are doing.
- Avamander 3y agoIs your vision corrected and the room with the projector even remotely suitable for it?
