My screen space usage has always been pretty conservative — I have a PC and a Mac on my desk, and each gets a single 27" 4K display scaled to 1920x1080 at 2x. That's all I've ever needed for the kind of development I do.

(I settled there after years of damaging my eyesight at high res, and my eyesight has improved ever since)

Since I've started using Codex day to day, however, I kinda feel like I could be doing a lot more things at once if only I had a wider screen for more Terminal windows…

@stroughtonsmith I’ve got a similar setup, but no room to expand. So I just started playing around with weirder terminals like https://www.cmux.dev
@stroughtonsmith Single monitors rotated and mounted next to main monitors are moderately popular for terminal-heads.

@stroughtonsmith same, but I got a rotating display last year specifically for Claude and this setup has been *really* comfortable so far:

AI coding agents promised to make software development easier. Instead they’ve kicked off a high-pressure race to build at any cost.
