Hey i was in the same place roughly a year ago and i did come up with some measures which i find satisfactory when I reflect upon them.
Looks like people already familiar with the argument have given excellent scientific advice for your lifestyle in general.
But i would like to specifically focus on the things that practically worked for me when it comes to coding.
1. Try going warm when going dark. I suggest Gruvbox themes for it. I personally use a variation of it called Gruvbox material on vscodium.
2. Prefer using the simplified reading mode in browsers whenever feasible.
3. Use a feature like night light and try to balance the brightness alongside to get a perfect condition(subjective) where the text is legible and has enough contrast. My opinion is that having more night light is much better than a lower brightness. Effects of night light go aesthetically unnoticed in dark modes.
4. Use thin fonts. I use fira code light. They are easier to read from what I had studied then.
5. Matt screens are a pleasure for eyes to work with
Still in Uni, I remember the first day, when I got the class wifi credentials, i found out one app i use was blocked. A basic messenger app. Why am I trying to be spooky, it's WhatsApp. Other sites like instagram, Twitter, Snapchat etc were also blocked. I used none of the other blocked sites. I still remember that as soon as I realised it, i installed orbot to tunnel my WhatsApp traffic through tor. It worked as expected. I don't have many people texting me, but when someone does it's usually urgent and not anything spam. So people noticed it and held me as some tech genius who defeated the system, little did they know I just dug the ground and made a tunnel. They still are distracted, sometimes, but it's fine. Atleast for me.
I personally feel rust is advertised more as safer and faster rather than as a practical yet harder alternative to C or C++.
Although Go as a systems programming language is misleading, it's not something that is as heavily discussed about.
In the long run Rust's complexity will hurt newcomers(new to programming) while it will be a blessing for seasoned c and c++ devs. If all programming languages were tools, rust would be a very very specific tool which makes a lot of sense for a specific case. If nodejs and golang are tools, choosing one over another is easier as you can do same things in both easily with small effort. But you cannot rewrite all rust programs in nodejs or golang.
Finally you need to ask if rust is really worth picking over golang/nodejs for things that can be easily done in nodejs/golang. Rust is not for people who think is rust for them.
Arguments like some implementations are more elegant in some other language can always be brought up as arguments. They should only be taken into account when you run out of options to compare because they are exaggerated and subjective most of the times. For example(exaggerated) screaming why go doesn't have a borrower checker like rust makes no sense because go is garbage collected. For many people seeing such absence of features equate to lack of features in a programming language leading to more boilerplate or other downsides which is not necessarily true.
Really appreciate Glider.
