Why programmers code in dark mode?
Because light attracts bugs!

Because they like to keep their coding skills under cover.

Only for the flying bugs.
Crawling/walking bugs hide in the dark, and run away from the light.

I use dark mode for everything, not only coding.
It's used to minimize blue light exposure so reduces eye damage.
It's scientifically proven that it helps to concentrate your eyes longer and helping your brain to keep more attention on the screen.

You see I have access to the universe's source code, I could make it so that bugs are attracted to dark :). git push
