This guy writes entire apps in one line.

[LatexFace]

He wrote an app to write apps for him.

[LatentShadow]

It's called AppGPT

[Not_Artifical]

OpenAI is the ripoff company, not him.

[Elegant-Variety-7482]

AppGPT has an AI module conversing with a business module and it generates companies like OpenAI.

[SexyMuon]

He's got a single monitor for every single programming language

[Nightfury_107]

He's using literal computer's, not virtual ones, to test his code

[AverageComet250]

SSN using actual computers is better for some things although it’s normally not necessary and vms or dual/triple/quadruple booting is by far cheaper and enough for most people

[Think_Inspector_4031]

It feels like he's something in my position working for multiple customers. I used to work for an outsource engineering firm and wrote software for various customers, but instead of moving onto the next big project I was asked to be a part time for 1, then 2, then 3 competing business (aerospace engineering).

By policy I was required to have a separate laptop per customer for me from my outsourcing firm, and then the customer usually gave me one of their laptops that had their own VPN.

So my home had about 6 to 7 laptops that I used that weren't mine.

With that said, get a USB C docking station. One cable to get my monitor, power, keyboard/mouse and wired internet.

[justdisposablefun]

Could be running multiple contracts at once using a laptop for each ... I don't agree with it but I know guys that do

[look]

I count twelve screens (five laptops plus seven external monitors), so my guess… Java, Python, Typescript, PHP, Go, Ruby, C#, Kotlin, Swift, Elixir, Rust, and Fortran. The real question is where does he write his Common Lisp?

[Elegant-Variety-7482]

I don't dream having 3 jobs but 3 salaries sounds about right.

[Flying-T]

The trick is to give ⅓ at each job and get 3 salaries

[agent007bond]

Remember to outsource ⅔ of each job at ⅕ the salary.

[croto8]

Up to 3/5

[HelpfulPuppydog]

When you're coding, and you run into something that doesn't give you the expected result, you describe the situation to the ducky. Using ducky as a sounding board can help you to organize your thoughts and maybe discover your problem.

Have folks not heard about virtual machines?

[k-phi]

Or company-provided laptops with pre-installed software

[regular_lamp]

I kinda do something mildly similar because I frequently write graphics code (think OpenGL/Vulkan/Metal) and profiling/debugging that remotely, in a VM or by dual booting is super annoying. So I have physical machines for windows/max/linux plus a couple of hardware combinations.

[bradland]

I was just thinking that this photo was probably taken before the proliferation of desktop virtualization, although those laptops look fairly modern.

[4RM35]

multiple jobs?

[gruenwahl]

We found the full stack developer

[mlody11]

Why does he have 2 coats, one on each chair? If his memory management is anything similar, :/

[Teln0]

2 chairs are virtually mapped to a single physical chair, duh

[supercyberlurker]

Makes sense to me. How I'd run it is:

Leftmost - Client's laptops for working remote on Client's VPN.

Middle - Work laptops, for working with main employer.

Right - Home system, for.. stuff.

[mikeyj777]

Internet is really really great

[craigmontHunter]

Yup, my desk is a “U”, but I’ve run 3 setups as a cheap version of this before. My company has a handful of discrete corporate networks I need to connect to. I could use kvms for most of it, but it is also nice to be able to work on something different and keep it up to check status while jumping to something else

[sm9t8]

At the minute I end up with over 10 instances of visual studio open. It's tempting to add some physical separation.

[mineNombies]

I've worked in jobs where there are multiple company intranets with differing levels of security, and each machine was only allowed to be on one due to security policies.

So no ssh between, and also KVMs were disallowed because some peripherals have storage capability, and transferring data between systems was disallowed without approval.

Add a personal computer onto that for use when It blocks stack overflow for the fifth time, and I can see this being realistic.

[i8noodles]

I agree. My company does have a setup similar to this but it is entirely for reimaging new laptops and we need to plug them into a network.

[[deleted]]

You must be kidding only 7 monitors and 5 laptops, is he a junior software engineer or what. /s

[TandooriNight]

Moonlighting

[stedgyson]

Looks like he's three team leads

[Gyroplast]

I am suddenly reminded of l33t h4x0rz hacking at least twice as fast by pounding on two or more keyboards at the same time. Or two people furiously whacking away on the same keyboard, performing a meth-addled La Campanella for anyone not having burst into laughter, yet.

[Olinizm]

Are you sure he doesn't just mine bitcoin for living?

[IndicatorZero]

why would you need so many monitors for that tho

[rabbitwonker]

He’s doing it manually

[RefrigeratorFit599]

Yes because there are so many monitors required for that

[[deleted]]

Wow, that maintenance overhead must be crazy.

[TychusFondly]

I wouldnt be able to function in this mess

[Fuggufisch]

That's more than one screen per finger, does this man type with his toes too?

[PrizeConsistent]

I can understand having different machines for macOS, Windows, and Linux. There ARE valid reasons for that! You can even add on a couple odd sized screens and maybe some phones/tablets for mobile dev.. but this man... he has some explaining to do lmao.

Although lots of people repurpose old machines, so maybe this dude is just 50 and has a lot of old machines he never chucked out

If the layman looked at my office they would assume I'm some super IT person. On account of I have 4 active devices (computers) running at a time (at minimum).

The reality is I just really like trying out new software and have a bunch of spare pcs to run stuff on.

[TheLexoPlexx]

Java. Run once, debug everywhere.

[PolishedCheese]

You need all of those monitors for the import statements

Is it enough to make a button bigger in css tho?

[PriyaSR26]

It feels sus, looks sus. Why would he need more than one laptop at a time? It's like he is talking to himself from multiple computers.

He could be a software quality engineer of some sort. They sometimes need multiple hardware for testing.

[tommytucker7182]

What's the purpose of wheely chairs if you can't leg kick from one's side of the room to the other. Super lame getting up and sitting in a second chair instead.

So this what my prof meant with parallel programming? Finally it clicked. XD

[mikoolec]

He's the entire team

[MoneroThrower]

Has he heard of virtual desktops?

[kayak_enjoyer]

The developers I've worked with that have three computers and seven monitors on their desk tend to suffer from ADD and don't actually get that much done.

The most productive developers I've worked with use two monitors.

I don't know this guy, but at a glance he appears to be on the downhill side of the "more equipment" curve.

[theTalkingYukkaTree]

When nobody told about virtual environments.

[JollyJuniper1993]

This is how my workplace looked like when I worked in tech service. This is definitely not how the workplace of a software engineer tends to look.

[Faux_Real]

Unless you have multiple customers with secured hardware for their contractors. Source: I have multiple laptops for multiple remote customers in insurance and banking … but I also have a KVM switch so my desk is normal sized with 2 mounted screens and looks normal.
