so all he uses is a Macbook Air ? No external monitor ? Hm, dont think its very ergonomic to sit in front of a Laptop all day and the small screen isnt good for productivity either i guess. Other than that, nice list of tools!
- yuvadm 16y agoMost people find that the small screen helps focus on a single task, instead of spanning multiple applications on multiple monitors. Your other point is absolutely correct. Laptops are an ergonomic abomination.
- paydro 16y agoI think a smaller screen size is better for productivity. It keeps me focused on the task at hand since the screen size constrains what I can have on screen. With larger screens, there's too many other apps that can grab my attention. In regards to coding, I also prefer the smaller size screen. Writing code on smaller screens forces me to write smaller methods since I don't want to scroll to read a method. Obviously, I could just resize my editor window to fix this, but then this exposes other applications which are distracting.
- kayoone 16y agoi get that, but still...you dont have to run the apps that distract you in the first place. I think one can hardly have enough screen real estate especially in web dev where you have to fiddle with so many different applications. I like having my IDE on one monitor and the Browser to check results / view documentation on the other one without needing to switch back and forth all the time.
