Why do programmers use multiple screens?

However, some do, and there are a few reasons for it…

If you use a laptop, even the biggest s://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/screen">screen is painfully small, even a 17″ s://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/screen">screen, which is huge for a laptop, is microscopic by desktop s://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/standards">standards. So, yes, external displays can become essential.

Some people like to see code on one s://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/screen">screen, and say the website they are working on the other s://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/screen">screen, that can be useful. Or maybe Xcode on one s://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/screen">screen, a simulator on the other. I’m not too bothered about it, but some people prefer it.

This might be a little controversial… It’s a really good way to look like a programmer. If you want to look like a programmer, have 3 s://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/screen">screens, at least one in portrait orientation, and fire up a customised terminal running Vim… Nobody will spot the faker…
