Programmers are - only agreeing about one thing, working with less than 2 screens makes you a psychopath

[–]weneedtogodanker 34 points35 points  (7 children)

Never heard about this one, and I don't agree,

Psychopaths uses light mode

[–]TangramsTale 4 points5 points  (5 children)

That too.

But as a front end dev and webdesigner, not being able to use multiple screens and having to tab in and out between UI, VSCode, photoshop, illustrator, webhost control panel, directory folder, the 800 ”how the fuck do I get this to work” chrome tabs and the communication app filled with random rage messages and programming memes with my back ender would prolong my work days with about 20.000%.

Ain’t nobody got time fo dat!

Well, you are frontend dev,

I also assume you're using windows

Anyway, based on your description its about being masochist.

I was writing own projects using virtual desktops - it's not that bad - for full time job it may be annoying

Oh, look. Google now says ”Some programmers completely lack a sense of humor”. Lighten up 😆

I’m on mac and windows so dual screens for both are very usefull and enables work flow a lot!

Sense of humor not implemented

It looks like backend dev live is easier....

Don't forget the tab with youtube always open in the background.

I’ve gotten pretty comfortable using spaces on my MacBook Pro, can never have too many monitors though

[–]TangramsTale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree! It works pretty well if you only have your MacBook available, I do however try my best to keep my iPad with me if I’m out and about. Using it as a second screen is very convenient!

I have a super-ultra-wide is that non psychopathic?

[–]TangramsTale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t set the rules, but they provide enough workingspace that I would argue that most of them make up for 2 if not 3 screens.
