My main focus is JavaScript specialising in frontend UI with React. I like to explore different frameworks and technologies in my spare time. Learning languages (programming and real life) is a blast.

Fonts set with rem are easier to control than em, and if you use that then em becomes a really handy method of specifying space around those elements. I’ve been experimenting with variations on font-size: calc(1rem + 0.3vw); as a way of setting font sizes that don’t need media queries.
Then there are things like trying to use max-width instead of width etc. Really depends on the context. 🙌

Interesting to hear how your understanding evolved over time, I think I had a similar experience.
With regards to units, I see beginners using pixels for everything! Do you have any tips on choosing which units to use and why?
Such a big topic! That said...
