Dark dark dark!
Found the Zenburn theme over a decade back, possibly from CP. Use it everywhere possible.

if available. If not, then whatever the default is. Plus the monitor is always set to 15% of maximum brightness and contrast.

In my case there is a reason. Started coding on Terminal 200 ( Green on black ) 45 years ago. Moved to MS VS IDE and used Light Mode for years. Then 6 months ago I had to start increasing font size because I could not see. This caused me to try Dark mode and my visibility improved. Turned out I had cataracts which have been removed and I can now see without glasses. Dark is easier on the eyes.

More likely in Matrix Movie. Haha

Exactly right! That is what I grew up with except the code went from side to side rather than up and down.

Haha Yes, codes are not in vertical forms.

Therefore, light theme for C# (and even Python), Dark theme for Javascript.

For those of us that began our programming on DOS machines (TRS-80, Apple II, and later on IBM PCs), it pretty much always was a dark background with either green or orange text...

I know how dark mode signals that you are a Real Programmer. While working at my keyboard by myself, I favor readability, so I go for traditional the ink-on-white-paper-like mode. But when I make printouts for others to see, I want to emphasize that I am not an amateur, and display my professionality by presenting black sheets with keywords and directives and comments and whathaveyou, each in their own color.
The nice thing about this is that I leave the problem of readabilty to those who grab my printouts to point to something in my code. I know the code so well from the screen editing that I do not have to search a lot, but those who try to teach me something about coding really have to struggle to read it. Obviously, that gives me an advantage if we get into a discussion. It also helps to make the printout in 8 point typeface - just try it out, print out color coded on black c source code in 8 pt, and you will see what I mean.

I'm impressed. That'a the most passive-aggressive thing I've heard of doing that will be passed off as "just a personality quirk"--in coding, anyway.

Because that is the default and I have given up on "customisation" over the years. Fighting the system for some arbitrary settings that suit me better is more work than just getting used to the way the UI (or UX) works.
I have gone through so many versions of VS over the years, each with their own "customisable" features that I feel the effort to tweak this and tweak that is just too much hassle - especially when I do pair programming with various colleagues and their tweaks are different to my tweaks. With one exception, we have all decided to just stick with the defaults to make it easier when we move from desk to desk.
I used to tweak my home system but now I get annoyed it's not the same as my work system so I don't do that anymore.
Even though it is painful at first, once you get used to it you don't notice it and it doesn't hurt anymore.
However, don't get me started on Windows 10!

At school we had both: the backboard was black and chalk white, paper was white and the ink black or blue.
Then came the PC with a CRT (cathode ray tube) it could have saved energy by imitating the backboard but people worried that it wasn't working if it wasn't illuminated.
Next was the LCD with backlight and that could only save energy by turning down the backlight.
Finally we have the OLED which is like the CRT, it can save energy by having a mostly black background.
We are moving in circles.
