I'm always really interested in the setup of other people's desks/offices - I don't know if it's nosy, or that I don't feel 100% settled with my own situation. I'd love to see yours too! Here's a peek at where I work:
I work remotely, so this is my home office. Requisite coffee mug and water bottle, two notebooks for work ideas and personal project ideas, and my planner. A candle, a wall mounted monitor, and a balance disk on my chair are some of my favorite touches. (Plus my Funko friends - Bob Ross, Mister Rogers, Groot and Grunt.)
Behind me is a treadmill/standing desk that I rotate off and on of, but it's not nearly as pretty as this yet ;)
(Selfishly, I'd love any tips on ergonomics you have since I'm always trying to combat TOS pain!)

I'm looking for a mech keyboard and thinking of adding a Magic Trackpad too.
I just love trackpads over mice.
I have a few desks, all height adjustable. This one is an audio workstation with a controller keyboard and Ableton Push.
Here is mine. A little crowded but it works. This post has become a motivation to replace my long time broken connection for external display. Thanks guys!
hah, glad to help! love all the music gear too :)
Thank you. It was my previous profession, now an occasional relaxing escape.
My current desk at work. Nothing much apart from the dock which is pretty awesome. I plug one cable, it charges, has a network connection and two monitors.
been thinking of doing a 3 screen setup like this at work. I am curious what purposes you use for each screen. Obvious that you use the vertical for code. But what do you tend to keep on the laptop screen and the other horizontal monitor?
I work centered on the two external monitors. I keep chat applications and calendar on the laptop, I generally have code or long pdfs on the vertical monitor and and the rest (browsing and editing applications) on the horizontal monitor. It's not really enforced, sometimes I move applications around, it all depends on which format fits best for the task.
What do you use to switch between mac and windows with one click?
I assume it's the button on his Monitor to switch input source :D
But would also interest me if there is anything more to it @mattwaler
here's my treadmill desk setup, if anyone was interested
This is my current set up, working remotely from home.
No tips on ergonomics, but my Fitbit has been an awesome tool, because it tells me to get up and move around if I have been stationary for too long. Movement solves a host of problems.
I need to listen to my fitbit more, I have one but always ignore its reminders to get up. it looks like you have a nice view!
I am definitely guilty of ignoring it as well, but baby steps in the right direction.. And I do, really lucky with where I live!
I❤️ Code + coffee in the morning
Here's mine! A beginners home desk 😁
nice and organized, I like it!
Thanks!
Bit asymmetrical and I'm planning a 3 monitor setup, but i have to get a different desk with a proper chair first.
Honestly, can't understand the vertical monitor which i see in the other posts. Seems unpractical, but hey... two monitors in middle doesn't sound much of a win either.
Wallpaper engine and dark dev.to :3 (Dark reader)
Portrait screens FTW. I use one for web browsing, lots of folks use them for IDEs. You need a screen that's better than 1080p though - I've used a pair of 1600x1200 4:3 screens, but replaced them with a single 2K screen. It's really well worth experimenting with.
I see, many people say, that the portrait monitors are just to show off :D that it's not even better, usually these people have a widescreen monitor. When I'll be redoing my so-ho setup, I'll think about a portrait one.
Nice extra TV with stats, really great idea!
I find more than one screen as a distraction and it might cause alot of eye strain, in the longer run.
What is this "thing" between cup and laptop, a camera?
Here's my modest and humble setup.
