For my blog I thought I’d set up code blocks that can be adapted to mobile. Does anyone else bother doing this, or is it just me? You certainly don’t get this option on blog platforms like dev.to, so I’m guessing it’s not that common.

    I’d rather have to scroll than to look at butchered code formatting. Just let me zoom out instead.

      You touch on a fair point that yeah, we don’t want to go too far and fit code into a narrow viewport at absolutely any cost. But applied wisely, a little judicious indentation would go a long way.

      I don’t think zooming is a good general solution, since ultimately it makes the code harder to read.
