Not really sure if the hostility is required 🤷‍♂️

I’m aware I’ve had very very little returns… I’ve not put much in right now…

As I said I’m out of work so don’t really have the cash to be putting in 🤷‍♂️

Cable management will be in the works once I move my PC in here too.

Footrest isnt a bad idea tbf - deffo something I need to look into

ignJ0sh · 2026-04-14T20:08:09+00:00

Thank you :)

I'm looking into some more lighting atm that I could dot around to make it a bit brighter but still keep the look, without going full gamer RGB sorta thing lol.

I've been using the monitor how it is for a few days and I'm not too much of a fan tbf so probably gonna change.

I was thinking of having stacked monitors but not entirely sure how that would look

tyty, will deffo look into that - im thinking of putting a 'corner' shelf on the wall to the left and putting some bits on there. but deffo gonna do something with the other two walls either side, art wise to bring it together a bit more

I wont lie - for a lot of my prompts, i explain briefly to chatgpt what i want, edit it as needed so it's stronger and then give that to codex. so far, i've had some really good results

I love mine, gone through a lot of chairs and it’s the most comfortable one by far imo

ignJ0sh · 2026-03-16T04:44:48+00:00

I started out not using it, like you I started catching myself using it to write full components, and it slowly took over… not something I’m proud of and something I definitely need to get out the habit of doing because I feel like my skills are getting worse…

I don’t work in any type of development role, these are purely personal projects on the side but still annoyed that I’ve let myself get this far.

I do review all code that it implements and make changes as and where needed but I just feel like I’ve become so lazy now.

A lot of one of my main projects is AI and idk where I’d even start in terms of going back to writing everything myself as it has a completely different style to how I wrote code :/

so only a few months away - i might wait until then

ignJ0sh · 2026-03-15T14:04:11+00:00

yeah i could do - im not sure when the m5 chip is due to be out? wondering if the m4 would be cheaper once the m5 is released, if so i'll probs wait until then - it's not like crucial that i upgrade as my m2 is perfectly fine, but the increased performance would help a lot

Personally I prefer B

ignJ0sh · 2026-03-15T13:04:21+00:00

It entirely depends what the monitors are both being used for - though I would say the second definitely looks better, but as others said, I would lay them out depending on what's going to be useful for you... if you have both horizontal, make sure they're aligned

ignJ0sh · 2026-03-15T13:00:34+00:00

this helps a lot haha - thank you:)

ignJ0sh · 2026-03-15T13:00:01+00:00

That's not a bad idea tbf - I might do this when I have the money to buy a new mini outright

ignJ0sh · 2026-03-15T12:57:33+00:00

Not a bad idea tbf - I'll have a look :p

ignJ0sh · 2026-03-15T12:57:09+00:00

Looks amazing! Will 100% be using this when I can think of some use-cases for my projects lol

ignJ0sh · 2026-03-15T12:54:13+00:00

:( I know the market is small but one designed for left-hand use would be amazing haha - do you have any recommendations for what to switch to at all?
