This was my secret weapon for years. My coworkers could never understand my focus and productivity and were always surprised when I said that it was due to working from a tiny laptop screen, and no more.

Its funny to read these comments where people think that focus is something that they can attain.

Your secret weapon isnt the laptop. Your secret weapon is a combination of a) actually giving a fuck about what you are doing, and b) the vibe of the workspace that makes you enjoy doing what you are doing.

Focus comes from a reinforcement loop of happy hormones that come from doing what you are doing. You can't focus on things that you don't enjoy doing.

How do you view HTML/Code/JSONs in other applications?

I have an instance of Postman open on my work laptop, and the useful area of the output constitutes maybe 20% of the screen.

Do you just scroll around endlessly every 2 seconds? Or do you have amazing eyesight and use tiny fonts?
