Dark mode since before it was cool is the hipster's boast about liking a band before anyone else did, applied to the editor theme. Terminals and early PCs showed light text on a dark screen for decades; it was the desktop interfaces of Xerox PARC and the 1984 Macintosh that put dark text on a bright background to imitate paper. For terminal users, the dark mode toggle that arrived much later was a return to the default.
For programmers who were configuring dark themes in Vim and Emacs long before dark mode became a marketing feature. It is for flexing terminal-veteran credentials, or admitting you've been coding in dark rooms for decades. The rest of the industry caught up eventually.
More habits that were around long before the trend in the Code & Lifestyle collection.

The blank behind every t-shirt
Most brands treat the blank as an afterthought. We treat it like the product it is. Every design ships on the same tee we picked after ditching the ones that pill, shrink, and go see-through by the third wash. Proper ring-spun cotton, soft enough to wear five days running, tough enough that the print still looks new long after your last deploy. True to size, no surprises. The kind of shirt you forget you are wearing, which is exactly the point.
