I'm mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist.

I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen.

I wouldn't mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I'd definitely use it for log/output, since currently it's a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal.

What about y'all?

100% My job is to stop the team from feeling all the corporate BS as much as possible. I'm an ex-dev myself so my job is to make sure they're OK and that thy're not getting pressure from stakeholders/PMs/POs etc.

A massive amount of tech managers have zero empathy sadly. But I'm the complete opposite. If anyone in my team isn't doing OK they just need to tell me, whether it's financial, personal, work-related etc.
