hi there 👋
You should avoid hard-coded values (pixels) most of the time. When you use these values you give up responsibility (or you make it harder for yourself at least)..
Typically you will increase the font-size property with @media queries. If you have hard-coded values all over your CSS, you need to modify every element's font-size. On the other hand, if you use rem-s all you need to do is changing the font-size in your CSS :root selector and all your elements will have a new size based on that value.
I usually use em for padding and margin for text-based elements, since their margin usually based on their font-size, and again, when you change the font-size in :root these values will scale up as well without you touching them, making your job easier and your page maintainable.
Hope this helps! 🙏
Good luck and happy coding!

@kodan96 - Hi Koda!
Thank's for your advice!
I have only come across the :root selector for colour variables and basically self taught myself through trial and error... sounds like i need to do some more digging on how gain the most value out of it!
Thanks again, very useful!
