If I'm being as charitable as I possibly can with the author's arguments I could admit that maybe coding with a secondary monitor is a preference that I could quickly unlearn
But that is not the only work I do. Multiple monitors allow me to have several plots in front of me; or a dashboard and the raw data it aggregates; or two versions of a powepoint deck of slides; or...
I think this discussion is kinda empty. If single monitor was easily a best-tool most people would not go through the cost and trouble to set up a multi monitor desk a second time.
I also find it weird that someone would "preach" about it strongly. It's a subject that virtually every person has experience in - and therefore access to the testimony of eveyone they know on the matter, because they are also familiar with it
- GhettoComputers 5y agoDo you find it strange because of the torrential mountains of pro multi monitor articles? Do you feel the same way about them? It was interesting to me since I use a single 4K and found the extra distracting, except he used 24in. The idea that most people wouldn’t go for multi monitor is like the idea paradigm shifts don’t exist. Larger screens with high resolution are different from cheap 1080p screens. It was to me a coping mechanism for what I wanted: a bezelless large screen.
