In my programming team, it’s pretty common to use two monitors (sometimes one is turned vertical) along with a laptop as a third screen.

But I usually stick to just one screen and switch between them using keyboard shortcuts or hot corners instead.

What about you? What do you prefer, and why?

Right now, I work in a flexible way: I usually have to be in the office, but I can work from home some days when I want or need to. The workplace isn’t toxic, and I don’t really have any major complaints.

Still, I’m thinking about quitting and finding a full-remote job. The main reason is to save around 2-3 hours each day and spend that time with my family instead. It’s not just the commute time; things like “mandatory social events,” such as long lunches that last 45-60 minutes, also take up time.

Of course, changing jobs is always risky. You never know how the new boss or coworkers will be or what the new codebase will look like.

For those of you who have already made the switch to full remote, what are your thoughts and experiences?

I will start a webshop and looking for recommendations of advertising my products. I have heard many stories of an online business was suddenly banned by Google or Meta so they lost 100% of purchases, because that was the only one source of their customers.

Do you expect recession or growth? Do you expect escalation of the current war conflicts? Do you expect the EU/US or the Chinese/Russian economy prevails?
