I'm not a designer but why the blog post & linked redesigned homepage font feels off?

I don't know what I dislike about it. HN font seems better to read. About the homepage:

- Is it all the excess space around the text?

- Is it that "Work Highlights" isn't aligned with anything?

- Is it the background switching that makes feel in 1 case there is a different font or font weight?

- Actually there is 3 background colors and in 1 case the font is even different color: white.

- The "Currently" feels a different font size than anything else. Actually it feels a different font for me.

- And it is not the same color as previous headers.

- The bullet points feel stuffed... or I don't know... the text above is different line height. Or maybe the excess space (doesn't fill the image height)?

I don't know what's right or wrong. Maybe I just like consistency :)

Sorry for the unsolicited part, it's more like I want to learn more myself :)
