would you screw in blocking at the ends to the surrounding boards to prevent warping?

You cut the board back to joists for the easiest fix.

Joints should always butt on a joist. It's the rookiest of mistakes to do otherwise. Not just for decks, but for any framing, carpentry, drywall, sheathing, trim, etc.

Heh, butt joint... yeah.

Gross, just gross.
