    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.

      I bought one after some months of remote work in 2020. Then when I started my new job they gave me another one (different manufacturer but exact same panel size). I needed to rearrange my desk a lot, but holy shit so much room for error messages!

      Yes, I’m a Java developer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    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.

      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!
    }
 }

        I get making fun of java’s verbosity for things like checked exceptions but hello world really isn’t that much worse than most other languages especially considering all the “boilerplate” is required for any program more complicated than hello world in pretty much every language. But if a useless program really is too verbose for you see java 21.

        void main() {
  System.out.println("hello world");
}

      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.

      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.

    Is this a good thing I’m looking at or a bad thing? I don’t get it but then again, I’m not a programmer.

      Java is a programming language that is notorious for being verbose, the joke is that you need a massively wide monitor to view it without the text being cut off

        Yeah that can get ugly but it’s still better than writing native queries because you know it’s gonna automatically translate to any db specific sql flavour.

        When they get a bit too long and ugly I either write default methods using specifications or I create a more concisely named default method that wraps the verbose monster.
