I feel like pepper variability has gone up a lot in recent years

It used to be that a jalapeno was generally milder than a serrano, which in turn was milder than a thai chili

But these days, some serranos are just total duds while some jalapenos will melt your face off (case in point the one I just chopped up)

I thought it was the seeds that make them spicy?

My process has not changed though! I mince the peppers + include seeds whenever I’m cooking
