What does your workspace look like?

phyrrus9 · 10-22-2017, 03:25 PM

When you're down and into it, how do you order your windows to manage space? I tend to be really messy, the only thing that remains constant is chrome on monitor #1.

Let's see what it looks like when you first get into the office and start working.

Sorry for it being so hard to read.... Resolution is 9599x1070.. Here is a link to the raw image where you can zoom or whatever if you like.

My workspace ultimately gets massively cluttered throughout the day, I'll try to either update this post or reply to it (depending on activity) later on today once ive been working for a few hours.

No screenshot? I feel like the layout is the best part!

I don't have 3 screens, so I make use of virtual desktops

I don't have just 3 screens either, I have 5 1080p monitors all lined up next to each other. It's so long that I actually have a second keyboard attached to the same PC for when I have to turn to look at the other 2. Don't mind the mess of a desk I have

Haha, they're just MacBook's virtual desktops and it was more difficult to screen grab that part than anticipated and too small to see much if I did.

Wow, 5 screens seem awesome. I'm currently using a laptop, but since I'm a web developer it is hard with a single screen. Changing windows after some coding to see changes what I made is not effective. I'm planning to buy one monitor, so I can see changed instantly on other screen's browser and it would save me from much time. Maybe I should buy one more for the watch crypto markets Biggrin

No, just most workplaces seem to favor OSX for development so I needed one for collaboration. Admittedly, I absolutely love it having always used Windows until now.

I think OSX + XCode is the best development environment once can have. The only exceptions to this are when you're working with embedded systems (the OSX LD flavor lacks features used for those).
