The author comments that they prefer the light mode to their own dark mode. I think that the dark mode would benefit greatly from being designed (color wise) bottom-up as a dark mode, versus just trying to toggle certain things to be darker.
The big tell is that the lines separating each row of content appear to be the same color in both areas. This tells me that the color of the line is not determined based on the color behind it (either via transparency, via color manipulation manually, or via dynamic color manipulation from a tool like sass (ie, opacity(), darken(), etc...)
I do agree w/ the author that light mode looks better. I also tend to prefer dark mode UIs. I think that by mindfully revisiting color a lot of the visual noise will go away and result in a more pleasant experience.
tl;dr dark mode is not just inverting certain light colors to dark, it should be done with more care.
