Lots of experience with web dev. People say I'm great to work with.

I heard this advice somewhere, and I invested nearly $1k in 2 4k monitors and required hardware to run them at 60hz. It was a terrible experience, and I ended up selling them at a loss and going back to 2 1920x1200 monitors (love 16:10).

Two main issues for me: I run Linux (4k support is simply _not_ there) and the input lag was very distracting. I tried a couple different 4k monitors, HP Z27 and LG 27UK850-W, and while the LG was slightly better, after a couple months I just couldn't bear it any longer.

I'm a full-time dev writing code mostly in Jetbrains IDEs. Hope this can spare somebody else the cost of trying 4k.

I've long had the dream of a bible app that functions like Google Photos. One scrollbar, top is Genesis, bottom is Revelation. I've given it some thought, but haven't written any code yet. @jonstaab is that something you'd be interested in collaborating on?

Edit: fix typo in name

Use docker to run binaries without installing:

  alias·mongo='docker·run·-it·--rm·--network=host·mongo·mongo'
  alias·aws='docker·run·-it·--rm·-e·AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID·-e·AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY·--network=host·mesosphere/aws-cli'

A nice-to-have option would be switching to isometric perspective.
