@eric also "love" the whole "if you're using h1 inside a section, lighthouse/devtools will now warn you that you should also change the font-size yourself" ... you still don't get it, muppets? it's not just the visual size that matters, but the actual heading level as exposed to assistive technologies... fucking sigh...
