The funniest part of that whole thing was when someone said "I trusted you, but you use light mode on your terminal" and then he replied that people stop by his desk daily just to make fun of him for it.
Everyone was making fun of me in the 2000s for using a dark terminal and IDE...
I started with dark mode because that's what amber text on a terminal was... but then the big thing was UI's simulating paper and then we had a turn to dark mode but recently I've gone back to the light side.
I also use light mode in my terminal. Mock me at your leisure. :)
That was one of my first thought as well, but I was thinking that he did it for readability in the post not for real...
The irony is that light mode is objectively the correct way to use things.
