I'm doing some monitor shopping and am looking for recs. I do , so I look at code and browsers all day. Priority is for screen real estate and text sharpness. There's a budget, but it's sizeable enough to not be a (big) factor here.

Anyone have big recs or feelings?

@xavdid I have the LG version of that 40” Dell ultrawide. I like it pretty well, though the pixel density is still not ideal for use with Apple. I find myself wishing I had the 5k2k resolution in a 34” or 38” ultrawide instead. It’s also silly expensive. Text is good on it, but still not “Apple good”. It rules for doing video and audio editing though (anything with a horizontal timeline). Also I’ve liked running D&D from it.

@xavdid That 27” Apple display is gorgeous, but a single 27” screen may feel too limiting. I also hate the stupid non-removable cord situation and that you have to pick a stand type at purchase time and can’t self-serve a change to a vesa mount.

What I really want Apple to make is a Retina ultrawide, probably in the 34-38” range.

of all the ways I thought I might be welcomed back from my time off to attend PyCon US, a promotion was not one of the ones I was prepared for

I guess I'm a team lead now :blobfox0_0:

relatedly… does anybody have favorite reading on how to lead?

@SnoopJ “The Manager’s Path” is worthwhile, and targeted at different levels so you can read the bits that are most relevant to you.

We just watched "The Life Aquatic with Steve Sizzou" for the first time. What an odd film.

@tek “Ping Island/Lightning Strike Rescue Op” from the score is the perfect music to play in an endless loop when you need to be productive and nothing else is working.

@tek It’s great for those really tedious things like writing reviews.

I have spotted exactly zero other masks in my time in the Pittsburgh airport.

@basepi I mean, I don’t love wearing a mask, and I wish it wasn’t necessary for the event to be safe and inclusive for our community, but wishing doesn’t make it so.

Inspired by a thing I saw on Reddit earlier today, I’m going to try listening to more complete albums this year. Maybe daily? We’ll see how it shakes out.

I’m starting off with the 2019 mix of Abbey Road by The Beatles: https://songwhip.com/the-beatles/abbey-road-2019-mix
