That's a gamer, not a software engineer

Yeah, as a software engineer I have 3 monitors if you include the one built into my laptop

What about my phone’s display, does that count as well?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Why not? The last decade before semi-retirement I had all the different ways to get in touch with me restricted to my phone. My work computer had no email client, no messengers, nothing. I even helped lead the charge to eliminate desk phones.

That little display may have been the single greatest priductivity booster ever. It stayed on a shelf across the room on do not disturb. The only people allowed past the DnD were my wife and my son. If there really was a work emergency, a manager or coworker knew where to find me to tap me on the shoulder.
