With the only listed advantage being "longest line length" and disadvantage being "webcam starts sliding away", I'm shocked that you think a 22 degree rotation isn't practical.

One almost wonders if practicality wasn’t the objective of the exercise. Almost.

Truly a missed opportunity to demo Ski Free running on the last orientation.

I second this. A portrait monitor does wonders for coding (for me); My office setup consists of two portrait monitors plus my laptop screen in the middle and this works very well when multiple repos are open at the same time. I tend not to mess about with the windows displayed on the vertical monitors so I always know where to look if I need to change something (ie, backend on the left, frontend on the right). I've been planning to look into tiling window managers to see if I can optimize this further but it might be going a bit too far.

I use two moderately sized monitors, in portrait mode, as well as a larger monitor, in landscape between.

code - browse, etc - tail logs
