I mostly agree with the author here - I work on a 15" MBP, and am remote more than I'm in the office. Where I differ slightly is that when I am in the office, I have a single, 24" 16:9 monitor connected in addition to my laptop's screen. I use it very sparingly. It contains only iTerm, which is running tmux and has all of my dev stuff running. I almost never need to see both my terminal and my IDE/browser/whatever at once, but when I do need my terminal it's very nice to have twice the history I would normally have on my laptop's monitor on the screen at one time. I find it invaluable particularly when reading logs.
