I used to have 4 32" monitors setup in a vertical side-by-side on my desk. Each costs over $2K. Visual Studio doesn't play nice if you need to expand across monitors, it shudders. Got rid of all those and opt for a 55" 4K Samsung border-less, curved. Much better and smoother with VS. Beside it admires everyone walked by and it only cost 800 bucks. And much happier.

Last time I was looking at a monitor, 4k seemed to only be useful once you get to 30+ inches. I went with two 27 inch monitors instead. Thinking if I need more in a few years (second desk or whatever), I'd go 4k and 30+ inches then.

Why do the people with the loudest voices insist on talking over their cubicle walls? 0700 and reaching for the noise cancelling head phones.....

I long for the days of cubicle walls. We have the new "open" concept. The visual and audio distractions are many.
Supposedly the open concept results in a more productive team atmosphere. I don't buy it. From what I observe, it seems to result in a more idle chit-chat. Instead of a conversation being isolated to a break room it is now out in the open where more people join in.

A-friggin'-Men!
We just got an email stating that "they" will be checking badging in and out. If we don't show in the office for at least 3 days a week, that after a certain period of time we will become "remote employees" and no longer have our little rolling table. I refuse to call it a desk.
And some Goomba takes it upon theirself to turn the lights on in our area and they don't even work in it.

I used to hate the guy who dons his headset then stands up to have his conversation, just so everyone, all 300 of us, knew hew was talking on the phone.

Used to hate?
I despise the headsets. If you're going to be on a call, you better have an elephanting light blinking, or I reserve the right to slap your head. You want to stand up and have a public conversation? I'm going to mess with you.
I want to know the retards who came up with this open office bull crap. Software is hard, don't f*** with me when I'm trying to write code. The other day, the facilities guy came by dragging a drone who I fear was in charge of moving the software group to their new location. We're not in the best of locations, but we have a lot of desk space for our projects (embedded). No, we cannot live in an 8x8 cubicle....

Phew! dodged a bullet there. If it were right it would have been a problem.

Array is the "Group name" for a number of Hedgehogs: Animal Groups[^]
And two of them would be a "Double array", which I'm pretty sure we have all created
