Dark on light is also the best for presentations and working outdoors.

Solarized light looks decent for this too.

blue-gray sucks

the variety of colors makes me want to lick the computer screen

ir_black (light on black) is the best color scheme, and it is available for the best editor (vim)

i legitimately don't think there exists 40 lines of code you could screenshot that i can tell has the right effect which i would say "gah, don't do that" about

random prints to build xml is fine, who the gently caress cares to import some library to mess with it if a loop that printfs some poo poo works

the idea of "ugly code" is the stupidest sperg poo poo. the orm discussion more or less illustrates that there are usually too many stupid libraries rather than too few

ORMs are bad because they were created for dumbs.
SQL is not any harder to write without libraries. Using sql is also cleaner and allows much more complex logic because properly normalized DBs are really complex.

XML libraries are good because XML is inherently tedious to write manually (and error prone) despite being extremely simple in design. Anytime you can grok the logic faster than writing it means a computer can help you do it easier and with less errors.

oh good we're talking about ide colors again

reminder black text on white background is still the most readable and least damaging

blue/yellow combos also work well

it would have to be a grey background at least

there's a vim theme called "biogoo" that's got a light grey background

The #1 reason to use something like vim is that it makes it nice to do work on headless machines.

Also modal editing is a good thing. And vim commands are multiple but are structured in a logical way to be composable together.
