I now have two monitors on my desk — a huge 30-inch and a 24-inch monitor! At Google, engineers can pick between one 30-inch monitor or two 24-inch monitors. I actually chose two 24-inch monitors because I like being able to separate windows on different screens.
However, this week, I moved to a different desk to be closer to the development team because someone on the team went on maternity leave so a desk opened up. I immediately took over the desk which already had a 30-inch monitor! I left one of my 24-inch monitors behind because there’s absolutely no room for three monitors. That would be pretty crazy (and nuts) though if I did have three monitors!

And off to the right next to the mouse is my stash of snacks. Munching all day long while being super productive using a dual-monitor set up!

I have 2 monitors at work and I’ll never go back to one. I can have the app that I’m documenting running in a VM on one monitor and RoboHelp open in the other. These monitors can be rotated to “Portrait” view, but I didn’t like that.
