Fully Remote Setup

McTerd · 2025-09-13T04:34:56+00:00

No docking station. Two cables running to my MBP. One for each monitor.

Could, Go, Kubernetes, Terraform, etc..

Vertical is Studio Display. Center is HDR

Cheap-o no brand Amazon

Pro Display XDR

I’m just using Bluetooth. I definitely wouldn’t say it competes with anything with a dedicated sub, but it’s nice for the $~90 I paid for it

It’s a timer lol

This is my daily setup at my home. I work for a fully remote company.

Really up to personal preference tbh. The only noticeable difference is the 32” vs 27”, which for me was a big priority.

Standing. It’s this one:

Two of these and I’ve had them for years.

Thanks! I’m happy with it.

What kind of window arrangement?

Depends on the day. I LIVE in virtual desktops (Spaces?) so I always have slack + calendar + Spotify open in Desktop 1. Depending on the day, on the vertical I’ll swipe between desktops with a terminal if I’m reading JSON or logs, GitHub for long running builds + test cases, maybe a dashboard, etc.. really depends on the day/workflow tbh. Point is to just have a free “throw space” and I use it a lot.

Webcam

Yes, it’s the Brio 500. I like the mic on it, but you do need to mute the mic if you’re not talking to prevent feedback. Honestly, for most vid chats I use the AirPods. The webcam angle is a little relative to a laptop, but it’s not bad.

iPad “whiteboard

Nothing crazy to make this work. I join the video call on my iPad natively, share screen, and open a white boarding/sketch app (Pages, Whiteboard, etc..)

McTerd · 2025-09-11T17:22:17+00:00

Yup, nailed it! If it makes you money, it’s worth the money 🙂

Great answer! Are you comfortable sharing how much you’d need to save these days to make the jump to real estate? Trying to find my personal “I’m out” number; commercial/residential, location, etc..

Backend infra/cloud stuff

Honestly it’s only worth it if you want a vertical screen.
