As a Googler who has a lot of technical content on Medium, I have to agree that screenshots are much more flexible than Medium's gist support, but I always add a link to the actual code right under.
For example: https://medium.com/google-cloud/kubernetes-configmaps-and-secrets-68d061f7ab5b https://medium.com/google-cloud/kubernetes-configmaps-and-se...
In this example, I have a single gist with multiple files, but Medium can't display just a single file from that gist at a time (maybe things have changed, but I don't think so).
Medium's gist and code support in general is sub-par compared to other platforms IMO, but as a platform it does make it easy to create and share content that is also easily discoverable.
I'm probably going to start hosting the canonical post on my own domain and just use Medium to syndicate it.

I don’t know who’s to blame here but I already hate Medium with a passion and this is not helping.
