> I think that laptops are not good for development. They are great in mobility and convenience, and this argument might outweigh everything else for some people. I accept that. But still, a desktop monitor + external keyboard are always better than a laptop. There might be other reasons for not buying a monitor, but having one, I hope, no one would argue it’s a superior dev environment.
100%! If you look at the image below this statement, the ergonomic disaster of craning your neck down to view the screen ("tech neck") is another reason to use monitors instead of laptops.
Unfortunately, and somewhat ironically, the 4K monitors the author recommends are not good for macOS due to them not supporting native retina scaling above 1080p. The only monitors that do are 5K displays, but neither of them can do 120Hz.

My 3840x1600 ultrawide has that problem using the native screen resolution tools but I can get it to full-res HiDPI using BetterDisplay [0]. [0] https://betterdisplay.pro/ https://betterdisplay.pro/
