I have no clue how so many of you are only working on one monitor. Maybe you've never tried using two, but there's absolutely no way I could ever code again on just one.
The difference is night and day.
- abstractbill 19y agoI've tried working on multiple monitors, several times. It doesn't work for me.
- copenja 19y agoJust curious, but what doesn't work for you about multiple monitors?
- kingnothing 19y agoI'd be interested to hear why as well. I find it's invaluable as you can have a web browser on one side and your code on the other.
- copenja 19y agoI concur. I can't believe how many single monitor setups there are. I am also surprised that more people don't use split screen setups where they can view multiple pages of code within the same window (ala emacs,gvim, Visual Studio). I prefer to have around four but atleast two views of code open at once.
- nostrademons 19y agoSome of us value the ability to hack in bed over the extra screen real estate.
- dfranke 19y agoScreen real estate is like a drug. Addiction creeps up on you quickly, and the more you have the more you think you need. I used to be perfectly content with one 17" monitor. Now I'm looking for a bigger desk so that I can add a fourth 22" LCD.
- kingnothing 19y agoA fourth? Wow. That's awesome.
- alexfarran 19y agoI tried it and it made my neck hurt. I prefer a virtual desktop if I want multiple workspaces. Why move your head when you can make the screen move for you?
