Re: 86 lines of code

Hi David,

You can search online for the productivity gains in using dual-monitors.

http://www.necdisplay.com/gowide/NEC_Productivity_Study_0208.pdf

I got that link from this site:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2009/01/29/do-two-monitors-improve-your-productivity/

Good luck.

Is this just the american way of doing things bigger than everyone else? How does one convince one's employer that 2 19" monitors are economically viable? Are most people developping this way or are they using one screen only?

I must admit, it sounds like luxury. When I look across at my coworker who uses only SEU: he flips between 5 sessions, each window is reduced in size to the equivalent of an 11" screen so he can also see his desktop. So fat chance I have of ever getting Rdi and dual montiors.

Oh yea.... and I have dual 19" widscreen monitors. If they
were 22's I'd get my 100 lines. :D

The main advantage of RDi over PDM/SEU is in the time to
analyze a program and produce code. If you can see 86 lines
of code (in my setup) at a time in RDi(WDSC) versus only 19
in SEU then I don't know how you can ignore the productivity
gains that gives you.

Bryce, what are your preferences set at? I only have 51 lines and I
haven't found another setting that is easy on the eye. My
screen is only
17", I think.

Another comparaison with the number of lines : I find that
greenscreeners
are less likely to use long names in their code. So you tend
to get a lot
more comment lines, thus amplifying even more the difference.
They may be
lazy about writing subprocedures as that slows them down. I still
sometimes use SEU for a quick look at something, but it has
to be really
quick because often I have to page and page before finding any code!
