I just bought a new monitor, and was considering a curved one. I think a curved monitor would be great for watching video and playing games.
I do the user interfaces for our products, so I spend a lot of time judging control layouts. Like everyone else here at CP, I also spend a lot of time looking at code. I think a curved monitor would be distracting in both cases, at least for me.
I bought a flat monitor.

I feel the same way. 
All the devs at my organization use multiple flat screen monitors at work and at home. I'm eager to know how devs find working with a curved screen. Because I have limited desk space at home (and am therefore forced to use a single monitor), I'm contemplating replacing my 1920x1200 screen with an ultra-wide panel.

I no longer use multiple monitors. Instead I use one 4k 55" and just tile my windows using Win+Arrow
It's way more flexible and clean, IMO, and less cable mess.
I'll never go back.

I only use a single monitor nowadays, at least at home. I lost my right eye in a fall last year, and a second monitor doesn't buy me anything now, as I have to move too much to see anything on it.
I keep a 2nd monitor at work, but that's only because it's the same touch screen monitor we use in our products. I occasionally need to check layouts on the same precise resolution as the product.

I have two curved monitors and my brain adjusted to the point where they now look flat and the flat screen on the adjacent laptop looks bowed out. In the end, I think they are more hype than anything else.

You can display 2 applications side by side on an ultra-wide curved monitor.
I do not have that kind of money to splurge on myself.

I will try this feature. Amazon has some good deals now.

Rather certain that curved monitors have a problem with sharing. The more people you need to look at the same screen at the same time the more that becomes a problem.
I also like using two monitors for a very specific reasons. First because it allows for a backup screen. Second 'full screen' means there is still another screen to have information on.
One can have two curved monitors but I suspect that the range of eye motion is for using both of those is going to require turning ones head to see all of it. And setting it up like that probably takes quite a bit away from the esthetic reasons for having it in the first place.

Mom 1: Do you do elf on the shelf for your kids?
Mom 2: No, I am a Harry Potter fan. I teach my kids to be against the enslavement of house-elves.
Sooo... I guess Dobby is a free elf... on your shelf...

If you feel like clicking more links, to find similar stuff, I came across that song plumbing YouTube's auto-generated list for 'similar to Jamie xx'. There's some other good stuff in there. Also, the group 'You Man' has some more chill stuff.

What is up with customers making a product launch for New Years Eve? I get that people have to work on holidays, but this seems unnecessary. Instead of having fun with a small group (Thanks COVID) of friends and family, I'll be hanging out at home waiting on call for a product launch. In my opinion, it should have been done on a non-holiday after hours.
Am I being selfish?

I went to a co-worker's wedding New Year's Eve of 2000. No matter how your 'launch' goes, it will be better than the dud that that party was.

Not at all. Holidays aren't just for managers, though sometimes they forget that. Up side is that you might get (should get!) Time-and-half or even Double-Time for working on a holiday. At the very least you should get time off in lieu. Neither of which can adequately compensate for lost time with your nearest and dearest, but its better that a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

We had a client that insisted that a project goes live before year end, even though we'd all be on vacation without support staff etc. Just because the project had to be done this year.

Ah yes, the year-end Holy Grail: "rev rec", or revenue recognition. Even though you haven't received the money (and may not for months), the customer commits to paying you and you can therefore 'recognize' that the revenue was received this year rather than when you actually deposit the money.

I posted a while back that I had purchase the "Apollo Guidance Computer" book and now I have a guilt complex.
They put a man on the moon with 36K of fixed memory and 2K of read/writable memory.
I just sent for another 32GB upgrade for my machine putting it total at 64GB.
BTW good book

I'm sure the rockets helped.
