As a GIS tech, there's one missing - the laptop next to an ultrawide. Optional normal monitor to the side :P
But yes, as a former weather forecaster, the 4 in a square is insane and unfortunately it was necessary on bad weather days. At one of my locations, we also had the PC hooked up to a television running behind us and had a separate real time data monitor to the side. So... Yeah.
One of us. In my old job I ran two gaming rigs for processing on a KVM switch. GIS is all about the rig. Only need one or two screens lol. 13 btw lmao.

Look, I'm not here to GIS anything. That's my pinball monitor.
I'm not even on the chart
Those characters in your desktop seem awfully gleeful at your future neck ache.

This is my mental illness, I change, rearrange, add, and substract screens constantly in my array. It's mostly for leaving ambient video playing in the background at my house, kinda like a little zen garden. I dream of programming all the TVs at a night club.
I got five computers in the array when this pic was taken. Three 2012 MacBook Pros, one on MacOS 10.15 Catalina, one on Windows 10, and one on Mint. Down low I have two gaming PCs, a 2014 build running Fedora and a 2017 build on Ubuntu.
You can't see my face but I'm cheesing so hard, this was one of the more ridiculous arrangements I've set up. I will use between three and seven screens at once on a normal day, but eight was an accomplishment lol
This is dope.

Since then I've upgraded the laptop so it actually runs on all screens. And I can switch to the desktop with a KVM.
Dragon theme -> hoarde of monitors. Checks out.
Super nice looking setup.

Modeling and CAD generally require up to 4 monitors.
- App
- App submenus and subwindows
- Redlines/markups/notes
- Optional. Emails, file browsing, screen share, manuals.
Though I'd say working with complicated apps regularly will give you a mental illness, so fair.
Like it says, mental illness.

I have one thats not represented here. Im fairly sure it belongs on the lower right.
Your office needs some art good goddamn, sick set up though.
Lets be real, 4 and 8 are "Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our tiling window managers" 99% the time in practice.
What's wrong with #8? Looks like a normal trader setup to me.
My setup is off the charts, tho, as usual.
Aren't traders supposed to be mentally ill?
Also, train dispatchers, power grid managers etc. Infrastructure control of any sort. On second thought, maybe they also have an extra keyboard/console (#16).

The keyboard position of 3 and 13 implies that one would stare directly at the gap where the monitors meet. I hope nobody does that.

Is this my sign to get in to GIS?
Do you like maps?
More importantly, do you like doing the work of a fullstack developer but getting paid and treated like a barely-tier 2 support desk person?
