davide23814yOne monitor is for coding, one monitor is to view, one monitor is for 9gag and another one is for DevRant ππ

IDE on one side, info on other side.
Productivity may be increased as well as decreased. -
DotM9204yWell I prefer to have my bigger screen (that is also my tv) as the main screen when working, and my laptop as "support", on a vertical setting (I have to move up-down, the tv is on the wall and the tablet in right below it on a table). Though the TV doesn't have the best resolution, it works well enough for me. I keep the IDE on the tv screen, and my laptop has the browser or some docs I need to check, and a YT tab with some music on :)
It also works really well when playing, as I play on the bigger screen and keep YT on my laptop and it's easier to switch songs/creepypastas/stories while playing π
Right now I can't do any of that because my PC is on repair so I have to check my subjs on my tablet and phone, and I can't really code, and there are tests and projects coming, which sucks π if I'm lucky is ready in about 2w, after I get back from easter break π¬ until then I'm stuck with that -
JTBringe6444yI develop websites, and for me it's practical to have the design on one screen, my code on another and a browser on the third screen.

sha-i2234yI have 3 monitors at work, one usually has IM, and there's always a combo of cli terminals, folder explorers, text editors, ide's, browsers, rdp sessions...I wouldn't mind a fourth monitor tbh!!!

One Monitor for "Research"
One Monitor for Development
One Monitor for SSH
One Monitor for scolding my colleague for causing a git conflict hell -
Facebook, youtube, minesweeper
Jk, in my case is web browser/web inspector/code editor -
frit007114yI really like having multiple monitors when I need more than one editor. For example while learning unreal 4 it was usefully to be able to have unreal, visual Studio, and chrome open at the same time. That way I don't have to switch open applications.
-
Editor in the centre, ide console and make targets to the left, browser/documentation/email/explorer/etc to the right

matanl27384yVirtual desktops and multiple monitors were both good for me, however windows virtual deaktops sux so it's only a linux solution (and maybe mac, never used one)

1001101112499229d[Slack, Postman, Spotify & a collection of more or less random programs that happen to be open at the time] [IDE & Terminal] [Chrome incl. chats, email, utilities, StackOverflow and all kinds of random tabs/Firefox with localhost:XXXX and usually nothing else (I find that Firefox dev edition has the best dev tools)] - usually in that order, unless I have only two screens, and then the leftmost and rightmost screens get merged
Why do programmers have multiple monitors? Cause i'm new in programming so idk itπ
