I code on MBA but with external display and keyboard front and center having MBA sit beside the display.
I have display turned off on the MBA and only use the external main display but I do keep the lid open to use its trackpad.
I resize my communication tools (email, skype) narrowly to the left side of the screen and keep my other main apps (browser, db tools, editors) for the rest of the space. This way, I can look at both without really turning my neck around and the fact that with wide displays, codes/web pages almost start at the center of the screen definitely makes it easier to read instead of having have to move your sight to the left on every line.
I've pretty much come to the conclusion that sticking what to concentrate on, on the main display is the way to go instead of splitting them all over your desk.
Static hand position with vim keybinding and with less eye/neck movement, least fatigue you get. (Of course with the chair your body likes.)
