WHY WON'T THEME SWITCHING WORK
okay my theme switching does kinda work if I hardcode it to dark mode, then I can switch the theme
but it only affects the theme, not the background.
But the background is set by the system theme, so if you have the theme set to lightmode and system them set to dark, you get a black background and black UI form
So it's just invisible

react is a tiring framework.
everytime I need to make a tiny change, I end up getting mad for an hour and then I'm tired of programming for the day. -

@foone
To keep with the whole "state of software in 2026" aesthetic, you should have the "dark mode" selection highlight be lighter than the background, and the "light mode" highlight be darker. Switch them around when you switch the mode. -

This was many years ago but i once worked with this front end dev, guy named Jake. He was a kind of an odd fellow. Real lanky dude, didn't talk much. And normally he wasn't the greatest programmer, a bit sloppy.

But when we got into crunch mode and the hours grew longer and longer, it's like the pressure and stress unlocked his potential. Once, in the last 48 hours before a big deadline, I walked in on him surrounded by about a dozen empty cans of Monster, just furiously typing away, muttering to himself. I was about to say something when my boss shot me a stern look and shook his head.
So I stood there. We all just stood there, watching.

After a few more minutes of this he slammed down on the enter key, and stood up, stumbling to the corner where he had sleeping bag, and just collapsed on it.
We crowded around his monitor. Unbelievably, he had cleared every outstanding bug.

I turned to my boss. "I don't get it. How does he get better the more exhausted he is?"
My boss just looked at me like it was obvious. "Our front end code depends on Jake weary."

@foone It took me a moment to figure out that "Hydration error" is an actual thing in react and not just a way of saying it made you spill your drink.
