In this video, I explain why I just use one monitor as a software developer. I've gone through quite a few different setups & I've found that using only one monitor screen has been the most comfortable, ergonomic & productive for me, especially with the help of keyboard shortcuts. Hope you enjoy the video!

Josean Martinez

A developer shares their transition from multi-monitor setups to a single 27-inch display, citing ergonomic benefits and reduced neck pain. The workflow relies on keyboard shortcuts via Raycast and window management tools to quickly switch between applications and workspaces. This approach eliminates physical screen switching, improves focus by displaying one application at a time, and creates a minimal desk setup. The solution works particularly well on macOS, though the author plans to explore Linux tiling window managers for potentially better results.

Why I Use Only One Monitor

I mostly use just a laptop monitor. I have ADHD and too much screen real estate is a distraction. Everyone is different. Just do what works for you and stop judging others and feeling judged

No thanks. I bought my first second display in the 00s and never looked back. You can do whatever you want, but some neovim shortcuts won’t fix the need for additional monitors.
The vim cult is really frustrating.

At this point I’m mostly a 1 display person with the exception of when I’m doing live streams and need to see OBS etc on a separate screen to keep things simple and clean on the stream view.
