I work as a freelance developer for two small companies (around 6-10 devs) and they both use GitHub privately. People are touting GitHub's move to per-user pricing as a triumph! I feel it's sneaky! Not only will both of my clients eventually have to pay for me, twice, but I think any new clients will be reluctant at adding me to their repo.

I've already heard of this happening! Middle management decided to switch to GitHub's new plan in a friend's company. Let's call them Muppets! Next week, two new contractors start, management told him not to add any more users, and to just figure something out. He's moving to BitBucket!

Is it just me, am I alone in my opinion that this was a bad move?

I'm curious to find out if my experience is atypical with coders. Like most developers my workstation setup consists of dual/triple monitors.

I've found (or at least perceived) when I'm displaying the IDE on the far right my problem solving/coding skills are better. Moving my IDE to the left feels unnatural for some reason and I don't appear be as productive. Unscientific I know, I measured this with the amount of tasks closed in a day.

Does anyone else find this? What screen do you have your IDE/Editor on?
