You organize your code the way you want, if you prefere to comment your CSS to specify the styles are for mobiles, feel free to do.

Some people organize their css differently, they create several sheets, for example, another css for the responsive styles and import them or call all of them in the html.

In the exercise given by nick I guess he specifies nothing as he know he is building the website on a mobile first approach and thus knows the styles he is applying are for mobiles.

Maybe after, (Don't remember really the course), he adds some media queries to target larger devices and there, he comments to specify which devices are targeted, but at the same time, media queries speak for themselves.

I mean if you see your mobile first css at the top and then at the bottom

@media screen and (min-width:640px){


/*your css styles here*/

}

You know directly the targeted devices, but if you want to comment, at the top and add a comment, feel free...
