Program in assembly, 40 columns is plenty. You just need an awful lot of rows.
Same monitor, just rotate it.
If you don’t use a vertical monitor I don’t consider you a real programmer.
Joke’s on you: I don’t consider myself a real programmer either
We need the same monitor, vertically!
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
The real advantage of two monitors is that you can turn one off if you don’t need the full 50000px width.
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)_/¯
It was either that or a C++ programmer. Those template error messages are gnarly.
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.
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
Ah, thanks for the explanation!
The joke is Java is verbose. It takes many characters to accomplish simple routines. Depending on your view that could either be good or bad for reading the code later.
Sure, but most of the lines in the screenshot break down to:
object1.setA(object2.getX().getY().getZ().getI().getJ().getK().getE().getF(i).getG().toString())Aside from creating a method inside the class (which you should probably do here in Java too) how would another language do this in a cleaner way?
Well I guess the point is that you shouldn’t need all these method calls to achieve simple goals. Most of those “getF” are calls to some SystemFactory to get a GenericObjectFactory and so on and so forth.
This just tells me you don’t use Java. Factory classes are just used to create objects in a standardized way, but this code isn’t creating anything, it’s just getting nested fields from already instantiated objects.
You shouldn’t reach through an object to invoke a method. That tightly couples the classes which getJ and getG (for instance) return.
That is an interesting point, but it’s not Java specific, you could do this exact thing in most other languages and it would look pretty much the same.
Considering the fact that in a lot of enterprise projects the data structures are not necessarily open to change, how would you prevent reaching through objects like this?
Got it! Thanks for the explanation!
Oh come on, first time I actually want someone to post a link for an “ad” and not one in sight
I’m using this one, highly recommend it! 240hz refresh rate, HDR, perfect for coding and gaming. Don’t know if it’s the exact same as the one in OP’s pic, but same concept for sure.
https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/49–odyssey-g95na-gaming-dqhd-led-monitor-ls49ag952nnxza/I’ve bought one and sent it back again. I felt like I’m not utilizing most of the space since I had to move my head too much to see windows on either side.
I’m now using two 4k Screens. In in the middle and one to the side, but rotates by 90 degrees. Can recommend that. Though for gaming… I can imagine it there.
Personal preference I guess.
I recently switched desks at my company and found one with two monitors. The seam was right in front of me. So if you have a task that has you watching a single monitor most of the time, you’re always looking to one side.
I stopped wondering why the colleague who sat there before was complaining of neck pain.
Oh yeah, it was brutal to play Apex on initially, but eventually you relearn where your eye needs to dart to to see your health and stuff and it gets a lot easier.
Then you learn how to process all that peripheral information and nobody can sneak up on you ever again lol.
Type aliasing in java could have saved us from the current pixel shortage, but at least kotlin is giving us a cheaper path forward.
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"); }
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.
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.
So THAT’S what that is! I always wondered what it was trying to say
Damn it hurts my eyes. I don’t like when verbose languages require such long lines, it feels uncomfortable.
For java programmers afraid of explicitly allocating any varables
Gonna need a factory or two imo
What Dart looks like when written by ActionScript programmers
I used it with the default formater built in lsp, and it used so much space…
Yeah, better use the linter too, that way it’s limited to 80 characters

Don’t forget the repository methods! getAllByTenantAndActiveAndCreatedAfterAndFirstNameContainsOrderByLastName
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.
Or you could rename your fields to single characters! getAllByAAndBOrderByC
Now I feel dirty…
