> I'm curious - don't people miss big monitors when coding on a laptop?

i don't. i have a laptop and a couple 24" monitors but over the last few years i've found myself just using the laptop more and more without the externals.

just watched a demo about http://codesolvent.com/ on monday, seems like they are providing a solution for configuration management that is oriented towards cloud orchestration.

i'm sure there are others, but this was fresh in my mind

4th gen lenovo carbon x1, 16gb ram, 512 gb pcie-nvme, i7-6600U, running fedora 24(currently)

i mainly develop for python, go, and javascript, also using a bunch of cloud platform stuff with kubernetes and openshift

in terms of keeping it running nicely, for me that means using fedora server edition with a custom selected Xorg stack and regular updates.

when not on the road i like to attach a 24" 1080p monitor for some extra real estate

for all his points about adoption of python 3, i think an interesting data point is that many of the OpenStack projects are actively converting (or already have converted) to python 3. that's no small amount of python.

hmm, maybe this is why i can never finish a book... ;)
