For the last 10 years I've been use 3 idential 24" (1920x1200) screens. Anyways, to force myself to upgrade I've parted those out to family members and am sitting in front of a 27" 2k monitor, but its not enough.</p> <p>I could either add another 27" or 32" screen.. Or may add 2 to get triple display, but I think that may be overkill with 27" screens. Or maybe an ultrawide?</p> <p>Anyone used an ultrawide for development? How did it compare to a multiple monitor setup?</p> <p>This is purely for development, I don't game. On Linux.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> productivity monitors jasonish Tue, 09 Jul 2019 16:29:49 +0000 https://dev.to/jasonish/should-i-keep-go-in-my-tool-box-3n15 https://dev.to/jasonish/should-i-keep-go-in-my-tool-box-3n15 <p>In any given day I may write C, JavaScript/TypeScript, Rust and Go... Due to my job, Rust and C are a must. And if you do anything with a web frontend, then JavaScript is a must. While I have a few applications that use Go on the backend, I'm struggling to find a reason to keep it that way. Seems to me Rust is catching up in terms of developer productivity when developing backend services, and JavaScript is fully capable of this as well with Node.</p> <p>Given all my Go apps use SQLite, and need Cgo I don't even really take advantage of Go's killer feature - static binaries that can be cross compiled to any other OS/architecture.</p> go rust javascript discuss
