This, plus there is research that suggests dark mode does not help with retention of information.[1] I have started to slowly transition back to light mode for most of my work applications. (Email, Coding, etc.)

Dark mode feels correct, but it is hostile. Now blue light on the other hand... you should get filters for your monitor/glasses.

Dark mode is great if you want to have many distinct colors on the dark background, like syntax highlighting.

For monochrome, light background and dark text work better.
