My developer desk setup: three monitors, one Monster can

Описание и применение

Настройка рабочего места разработчика с тремя мониторами, простыми заметками и AI‑инструментами повышает продуктивность, но требует внимания к здоровью и управлению задачами.

Задача

How to configure a productive developer desk with multiple monitors, task management, AI tools, and healthy habits.

Результат

The setup increases productivity by reducing context switching, provides a lightweight task system, and leverages AI for code generation while maintaining developer ownership.

Рабочий процесс

• Set up three monitors: one for code, one for debugging, one for ancillary tasks.
• Arrange sticky notes into a simple Kanban board with to‑do, doing, done columns.
• Limit doing to three notes to avoid clutter.
• Use AI tools (VS Code, Claude Code, Codex CLI) for rapid code generation while maintaining ownership.
• Monitor caffeine intake and sleep patterns to maintain health.
• Keep the setup tidy and avoid excessive Monster cans.
