Re:Ideal Monitor Rotation for Programmers (2021) by bloopernova on Friday December 29, 2023 @09:40AM (#38805411)
My setup has evolved over time and fits how I work now.

3 screens, all 4K, in | - - arrangement (portrait, landscape, landscape)

Left, vertical screen: terminals, Dash app, and documentation.

Middle, horizontal screen: Emacs showing org-journal+org-roam, VSCode, Firefox.

Right, horizontal screen: Chats and email, devtools from Firefox, separate VSCode workspaces, etc.

Main problem I've ran into was the newer M1-based non-Ultra/Max Macbook Pros don't support more than 2 external displays unless you use DisplayLink which is CPU-based and lags enough to notice. I wasn't able to convince our client to buy a laptop that would support my layout :/
