The transformation is complete. 2019 2.3 GHz 8-core Core i9 MacBook Pro w/ 32GB of RAM and eGPU w/ 8GB RX580. 2 1080p monitors, 1 iPad mini monitor, 2X 4TB external hard drives to backup w/ redundancy, Magic Keyboard 2, Magic Trackpad 2, coffee cup coaster, wireless charger, pair of Sony headphones.
Do find getting the eGPU is worth it? I have the same MacBook Pro, but I didn't change out the GPU so just the Radeon 560x. I recently got the 4k LG and had a Lenovo usb-c monitor, however I have noticed when plugged into the external displays my build times have increased dramatically.

It's worked well for me, I've used Pro1 and Pro4 as primary dev devices. I like to be mobile, so the form factor works well for portability, but for anything really intense, I will have an external screen or two (home office I have 1 screen, city office I have 2).
THIS IS AWESOME. I'm so excited. This is the first time I've seen someone have a writing area! I'm always curious whether noone has a special dedicated space for this!!
I tend to lean back a bit, I'm about 5' 9" so not overly tall. I find having the big screen on top forces me to move my neck more which helps prevent neck stiffness and pain.

I mean if you're not using Windows for gaming or things like photoshop all the time there's not too much of a point unless your development targets Windows for whatever reason. I'm linux at home like 98% of the time. :D
Here is my Web Development and Audio Production workstation. This is my latest setup, working at it now. Details about everything in the photo provided in our blog.
I spend a lot of time thinking about code, how it should be written and why. Have worked on big things and small things. For every book I read, I buy 5 more.
I’m a full stack developer who has experience with several front-end tools like Reactjs, Vuejs, and jQuery as well as some back-end tools like PHP, Laravel, Node, and Express.

I’m a little late to the discussion. Got the picture yesterday and then totally forgot to post it. Definitely still a work in progress. I’ve got an appl I schematic signed by woz to hang on the wall too when I get a frame for it. I’ve only been working remotely for 5 months now so I’m still improving.
Office setup, although the home one has the same gist, just more cat hair. I always tend to use my MacBook pro 13" in a vertical dock now just for some extra desk space but 4k displays provide me with enough real estate. Ergodox EZ + apple trackpad on some DIY stilts.
Might end up with a PC (maybe hackintosh for funsies) at home for some extra horsepower and RGB

Hi! I am a longtime developer with a passion to empower other developers to be their best. I focus on cloud development and everything related to data access from .NET and .NET Core.
That's a lot of screen! I had three monitors set up but I found it took forever to move from the left to the right, and also that I didn't have enough to justify a third screen especially with how I use workspaces.
Do you have those issues ever or have some advice?
Also, I've always been curious but haven't known anyone with one to ask. I know that the kind of person who buys them exists because I've seen a few in this thread, and also they sell them. Anyways, my question is, why in the world would you buy a keyboard with no number pad? I just can't understand the appeal. It's not even much smaller.
This is my home setup, mostly for games and leisure time but I do work on side projects and articles sometimes. How do people work on laptops? They are so slow!
Full Stack, FE first dev. But JS all the way. Specialize in React and it's ecosystem
Done a lot of stuff before that, including Software Engineering University. But that's life eh?
How you doin'?
I wanted to upload my battle station but after seeing just a handful of posts in here I think I'd die of embarrassment if I actually went through with it.
Your user name throws me off every time I see it.
And my real last name is not even lampe :D
Didn't know that this can be a real last name ;)
Lampe is actually the German word for lamp/light.
It's also the surname of some Germans from Westphalia that moved to the US in the late 1800s.
Oh 👌 okay
Didn't knew that too
You always learn.
I lived in north Germany
Which keyboard?
My workspace is a work in progress for sure, but I like it! This is the desk I use working 100% remote.
Looks cosy, love that rocket 🙂
TY, that was the Endeavor Award I won years ago at Team One. My coworkers 3D printed it!
This workspace is about to get a HUGE upgrade.

I may or may not have an addiction to Surface devices...
For the record I have:
That wallpaper is really cool! Where might I acquire a copy?
It's a cropped version of the image from popchart.co/products/the-chart-of-...
+1 for the wallpaper 🥰
Debating picking up one of the new surfaces when they release. How you find the smaller screen for coding? Or do you always have the monitor wired up?

My Home office,
It's late on Wednesday and dark out, but I grabbed a couple of lights.
Code and sound
and this is the App I use for design and graphics
THIS IS AWESOME. I'm so excited. This is the first time I've seen someone have a writing area! I'm always curious whether noone has a special dedicated space for this!!
I know right!
Computer screens block creativity, especially when I'm writing lyrics, so that's why I like to have an "analog space".
Nice little desk in the second pic!

my messy office.
That's not messy . It looks so nice .
Nice, like how the monitor is at a higher level than the tabletop by design. 👌
This is interesting! @skryking are you quite tall, or lean back at your desk?
I tend to lean back a bit, I'm about 5' 9" so not overly tall. I find having the big screen on top forces me to move my neck more which helps prevent neck stiffness and pain.
My setup is pretty basic, standing desk with a 30in monitor. My husband on the other hand is a little more excessive... 🤦♀️
That is what I call a mission control setup lol
😱
PowerEdge R720 running Proxmox, 2x Xeon E-5360 6-core CPUs @ 2.9GHz, 64 GB RAM, and 4x300GB SAS disks in a RAID10
Just built this guy yesterday. Ryzen7 2799X 8-core 3.7GHz CPU, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, 2 Samsung 970 Pro 512GB NVMe drives, and Radeon RX570
This is my sit/stand desk in standing position.
Here's by blog entry on building it
You may also find my presence sensor of interest. A little bit of desk automation.
Loving the presence sensor! And the fact your cat sets it off :-)
Unfortunately, these are not all the Legos we have in the house. It's not a long term solution, but works for now =)
Mine is more Messy :-D While Working on my Sports Blog.

Just re-arranged my office the other week. To the right of this, I have two other tables for building stuff and a printer.
I plan to get new monitors later and put them on adjustable stands. Also really looking forward to AMD Zen 2 processor upgrade to my machine.
Looking slick!
This week I’m visiting my hometown and I am hosted in my girlfriend home. This computer is offers to my actual work.
mine hasn't changed too much from this setup, except with a few empty cans of la croix and kleenex 😂:
My desk at home :
What OS is that?
Ubuntu Linux with Gnome!
I was on Windows but I changed to Linux because my windows installation got corrupted.
I've been pleasantly surprised by how much more stable it is and how much better the general development experience is.
Installed Ubuntu Budgie this week and it's pretty slick. :) You should give Budgie a try if you haven't!
But yeah Ubuntu has come a long way in usability since 12 or 14.
I'll definitely check it out! Thanks for the tip.
I've used Linux a little with raspberry pis and servers but it's new to me as a desktop environment and I don't see myself going back...
I mean if you're not using Windows for gaming or things like photoshop all the time there's not too much of a point unless your development targets Windows for whatever reason. I'm linux at home like 98% of the time. :D

This is probably the tidiest it has ever been!
Hey, nice vertical mouse 😁 Also a big fan of my vertical mouse!

my desk set up at the office. I prefer a larger monitor, 32 inch, rather than duel monitor setup.
This is my home desktop, I don't have a shot of my work desk handy. I really need to move the printer, it's just wasting space.
Here is my home setup :
Dark and messy
Those wallpapers <3

I use:
A pair of DoubleSight monitors, Ableton Live 9 setup with Push, Genelec speakers and a height adjustable desk.
I'm going to steal you're idea about the headphones!
I'm completely fine with just taking my Macbook Pro 15 inch anywhere I go, I don't really need anything else :)
I wanted to upload my battle station but after seeing just a handful of posts in here I think I'd die of embarrassment if I actually went through with it.
Just rebuilt my tower. Need to get some shelfs up to put all my anime funkos up! 😄
Nice!
