A candid shot of my home set-up. I use a nice roll-top desk
that offers tons of cubbyholes for storing cords and USB keys,
but limits me in terms of horizontal space. I test laptops on the
desk’s keyboard drawer, with two monitors behind it. Note that
both displays can be rotated into portrait mode. A dock hides
behind the laptop. Yes, I have cable management issues
