| For context, I'm a coder and game as a hobby What room do you use in the house?
A spare bedroom that I've claimed for my office. I'm a messy desk person so it makes it easy to hide it when friends come over, and it's nice to have a quiet space. Do you have a special desk?
The biggest L shaped desk that was reasonably affordable and didn't look like crap. Having worked on tiny improvised desks most of my career it's nice to spread out a bit. What monitors do you have?
-A 27" 16:9 2k@144hz is my center monitor, the higher res and refresh rate is pleasant even when not gaming.
-A 24" 16:10 dell monster that I stole from an old job and you will have to pry from my dead hands. I have some extra video cables hooked up for it to double as a lab monitor.
-A 17" 1080@144hz recycled panel from a gaming laptop that died. Good for background listening or meetings that you're half focusing on. Keyboard? Mouse?
Currently have a steel series keyboard and mouse. The keyboard is meh for typing and I've purchased one better suited for my typing habits. The mouse has like 13 macro buttons that are quite useful for hotkeys and turbo/toggle bindings. Do you work from a laptop?
I have a work issued laptop that lives downstairs. Typically use it for about a hour or so every workday. It provides a bit of a break in the day, and I often use it to attend meetings while lounging on the couch (no cam, of course) Do you move around the house?
Yep, it's critical to walk away from problems every now and then, gives you space to think. Often when I switch between my laptop or desktop I work on different tasks to fully get my brain to switch. What other equipment? Microphone? Webcam?
We don't use cameras in meetings often (very lucky). However, I fully endorse getting a good wireless headset for your PC with range to spare. It lets me pace or grab things from the kitchen while not missing anything. |
