Currently I'm using 2.
The main one for code editor + terminal only and secondary monitor usually for browser, music app, chat app, etc. (or everything except those two)
I code on my Apple watch. 🥲
I'm equaly productive using one or many. Now in my current position/job I'm using just one: an "amazing" 18" with a low resolution... which is a huge pain! but job politics doesn't allow me to use a wider neither another one. So any way, I'm still trying toget used to it :(.
I'm an embedded developer. I find that the absolute minimum is two. I'm often sifting through datasheets, app-notes and other technical documentation as I'm working and when I'm restricted to a single monitor, my
altandtabkeys get a real work-out, and my productivity plummets.For the past while, I've been using a laptop with an external monitor and I have to say, this is one of the absolute worst configurations for my eyes and neck. the setup in this reply seems optimal to me: dev.to/2kabhishek/comment/1pdhi
2, laptop + monitor
One monitor and my macbook.🙃
Used to have two monitors, but i found myself only using one and just putting unused windows there, it was useful when doing some live css refactoring/styling but not in the other cases.
Personally, I use 1 external monitor along with macbook air screen and that's it!
External monitor (24") for browser, UI preview, debugging, major tasks, terminal
Macbook Air screen for only VS Code
1 monitor and herbstluftwm. Used to have dual monitors but got tired of moving my neck. Once you get used to tiling window managers, the workflow stays the same if you're on the laptop at a coffee shop or at home.
