| 1) Huge + high refresh-rate monitor with low input latency and deep vibrant colors. Probably something 16:9 or even 16:10 aspect ratio. Maybe even two monitors, and you keep one of them in vertical orientation. I have a DWQHD (i.e. 32:9, the equivalent of 2 1440p monitors side-by-side) but I think it's better suited for gaming than programming, tbh. 2) Good adjustable chair, preferably with high backrest that supports your neck and shoulders. 3) Ergonomic desk setup. Just yesterday I was at a bad desk for an hour and for the first time in ages could feel neck pain! Wow, I thought to myself, I had forgotten all about that.. Sometimes you can find great deals on used standing desks on e.g. NextDoor 4) Good headphones (really partial to my Audio Technica MX50's) 5) iPad with GoodNotes installed + Apple Pencil 6) Small kvm switch, if you have multiple computers 7) usb-c hub 8) huge mousepad + good mouse at a comfortable sensitivity 9) a nice mechanical keyboard that feels good to type on. I personally am convinced that the tactile response helps me to type more fluidly and with less thought. 10) a license to an IDE with great refactoring tools. In other words JetBrains stuff, unless there's another great way to roll it w/ neovim |
