    As a developer, I find the great bang for buck is two monitors, with minor benefits for each additional monitor. Examples of use for extra monitors:

    • code on main monitor (or more if I have multiple projects open)
    • app I’m working on
    • documentation
    • Stack Overflow/Search/AI chat
    • Team chat/Slack
    • Email
    • infrastructure/performance monitors, logs
    • Mandatory reboot notice from the IT department shoved in a corner until I can reboot without losing work

    Of course if you have a large monitor you can tile windows instead of having N screens. Virtual desktop also exist.
