I used to believe this was the ideal setup, hell I even implemented it with monitors, but since I've integrated LLMs into my development process I find all I need are two side by side windows and now with CopilotX those are both in VSCode. I occasionally venture out for documentation but even that will make its way into the editor at some point. Using Edge and the Bing sidebar I can even save myself the trouble of reading through all of the documentation on a page by just asking Bing to retrieve the info I want from the page I'm on.
Doing all that in VR would be cool but I don't think it's going to increase my productivity nearly as much as LLMs have.
Disclaimer: I'm bullish on VR and I love gaming and socializing in VR

In such cases all the LLMs in the world are useless, but many pages of docs open at once are useful. Go tell your LLM to write a ARMv6M assembly MIPS-II emulator. I'll wait. Go on.

- throwaway4aday 3y agoI'm sorry that workflow doesn't work for you. Must be hard not getting to use modern tooling. If you care to, maybe try it out for some rubber ducking or inspirational uses, it's not limited to strictly technical things.
