I remember trying to use one edition of MSDN (MicroSloth Developer Network if I recall correctly) on my laptop a few years ago. Whoever had developed the UI for it had been using a giant monitor because on a small laptop screen the article contents in the right-hand detail panel didn't word-wrap correctly, so reading the article required constant scrolling left-and-right with the horizontal scroll bar (which sometimes didn't even show up). For six months I just got in the habit of copying-and-pasting the contents into a simple text editor so that I could actually read the shit normally.

I've long advocated making developers use the shittiest equipment and no extra monitors, just to ensure that what we build actually works on most machines. I'm not a monster: the money saved could be used to give developers ACTUAL FUCKING OFFICES.

I suspect the actual PC used is at least fairly powerful though. Like someone else said it's likely using ECC as its mission critial, so chances are it also has other expensive server parts inside. Not all powerful computers actually look like anything fancy at all. This post reminds me of things like the watercooling subreddit and the amount of effort and money they put into things like aesthetics, that don't actually improve performance at all. Even though the original point of watercooling was performance.

I got a hydraulic mechanical standing desk (smaller area), but I also worked with two old nightstands stacked on top of each other, with a larger chipboard board on top for which I did the edge banding.

Sad to see a nazi getting his pictures shared here (not Linus, obviously). 😔

Im pretty sure he also has a 3d printer

Bottom needs a gamer chair to prove that he's a gamer. A gamer games 45% better with a gamer chair. That's why they're shaped 45% differently. Without a gamer chair, a gamer does not truly game. But it's very important that they see it.

Are the desk legs actually angled in the bottom picture or is it a weird perspective thing? If it's on purpose, why?

But standing desks are awesome, I too would pick the top over the bottom setup
