I’ve also noticed I move my eyes a lot more with bigger screens. Notably working on a dell 34” ultrawide. Whereas small screens - even down to the MacBook 12” - with efficient use of alt-tab and Alfred can be very productive. You don’t loose time looking for something. However when you workflow needs two side-by-side panes but no more, 27” is a bliss.

In my experience in web development, coding usually needs 2 browser windows with 10-20 tabs, 5-6 terminal windows, DB GUI, text editors with 2-3 related projects open, logs views, OS task monitor, and a couple of misc. apps. Might as well work on a small screen with less eye browsing but efficient use of keyboard shortcuts if context switching is that high.
