I’m mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist.

I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen.

I wouldn’t mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I’d definitely use it for log/output, since currently it’s a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal.

What about y’all?

      FYI you can host your own version also eg azure open Ai, or use some open models like mistral and llama.

          Corporates are much more likely to self host such stuff over a startup. Other than office, corporates I’ve been involved with hate Saas and pay per seat stuff as they’re usually too large to justify it for everyone, self host is easier and put it on internal VPN.
