I’m not a web expert, but as far as I understand it’s not really good
practice to change the contents of a CSS file like this. I see that the
max-age for the cache control in the HTTP reply for the CSS is set to a
week, so every time you modify the HTML in a way that depends on also
updating the CSS the website will look broken to most people for a week.

Have you thought about the changing the filename of the CSS when you
change the contents? Some people even encode an MD5 hash of the contents
into the filename so that you never have to worry about caching. It
looks like Hugo has some builtin support for this:
