Working from home was ugly until I bought a 4k monitor with a pair of smaller ones to go each side. I initially thought I could get by with the 2.5k monitor and a single secondary one but ... yeah, nah. 4k is surprisingly easier to read, and having two secondary monitors surprisingly useful. It means I can have all the distractions on one side (messaging, email, other messaging... why are there so many messaging apps?), the main monitor for the primary task, and the other secondary for reference. I still swap documents/tabs a lot, but having the main reference always right there makes it much easier.

Often that's the design document, with the IDE occupying the whole 4k monitor. Two code windows + helper windows, it's not just 500 character lines :)
