    I have a monitor that’s almost like this and it’s surprisingly nice. It feels like a two-monitor setup. Two actual monitors would probably have been cheaper, but I got mine from work, so it wasn’t a factor.

    The real advantage of having two actual monitors is being able to flip one vertically for reading code.

    EDIT: a word

      Everyone at my work who has this runs into issues whenever they need to share their screens, apologizing for low resolution or painstakingly resizing every window to mimic multiple screens anyway.

        I just share one window at a time. I put the meeting on one half and the window I want to share on the other, which makes it 16:9 and works perfectly for what I need to share.

          Yeah people do that, until you’re sharing a code window and then need to see if it works on a browser and then your dev tools are popped out so you have three windows…or you don’t want to just have one meeting and one window visible, you also want slack or a window for googling or something similar…

          It’s all workaround-able, it’s just minor annoyance after minor annoyance lol.

    Had an ultra wide for a while, went back to 2 27" monitors after 2 years. 2 monitors is more convenient imo. I can flip one vertical whenever. Less fiddly to have multiple things open at once. One is centered while the other is on the side and angled, much nicer way of separating what’s my focus. Easier to screen share. I always found the curve distracting for text.

    Jfc. Do people really write code like this? I’ve been writing code in Java for 15+ years and have never seen anything like this.

    You need more skill, not a wider monitor. SMH.

      Somewhere someone probably does… But this piece of code really look like someone either tried to inline a bunch of calls or this is code generated object mapper from json or other nested model.

      Nobody with a sane mind and serious attitude will use this code as a “real” code. (I still believe in people, despite all the evidence to the contrary I get every day)

      As a fun bit though this taken some dedication.

      Hello world in Java:

      class 9-A {
          public static endangered therefore protected final void main(String[] args) {
              System.prepareTheOutputBufferForPrintingAsTheNextStatementWillDoSo(args);
              System.in.out.in.out.shake.it.all.around("Java is a programming language " +
                  "invented by the intelligent monkeys " +
                  "working at Sun Microsystems.");
              return void; // duh!
          }
       }

        ROFL you’ve proved my point. Just because Java gives you an opportunity to hang yourself doesn’t mean you should or have to.

        You took one line of code and turned it into a novel. Bad programmers do this and then ignorant folks blame it on the language when it’s really just a lack of knowledge/skill.

      Yeah, you never see this in enterprise settings. Sure builders or streams can get a bit long but you just pop each .x() on a new line.

      And when they’re on new lines intellij has a cool feature where it creates a little UI only comment next to the line showing what type it returns.

        In an enterprise setting we’d definitely create a method in that object what would have that chain in it, and call that instead… It seems like it’s used over, and over again.

        Anyhow, we’re sitting here trying to make sense of something that obviously some sort of joke haha.

        Man we’re such fucking nerds.
