Mostly interested in the intersection between development and business/startups/customer success. I no longer code for fun, nor it seems, do I have much fun coding.
In the last 6 months I’ve gone from 3 (24” | 24” | 13” laptop) to 1x24” after a prolonged period of neck pain causing astonishing headaches and much physiotherapy.
I’ve come full circle. It was great having multiple monitors but now I strongly believe the only place your head should be looking is straight ahead. Is it less productive? Maybe slightly when switching between code & browser or putting two documents side-by-side but I generally don’t miss it. Is it better for you? Unquestionably

Nothing more important than health. I'll pay $1k if that is what I need in order to not have any pains.
Forgot to add: I think I’ll upgrade the 24” monitor to a 27” 4K but probably not anything larger or I’ll develop the same problems.
Also: using a single monitor is great for focus. You don’t need Slack/email available to glance at all the time
