Microsoft: Hmm. How about you use our Visual Studio Online and push it to GitHub, both hosted on our computers, so that you don't have a local copy?
Developer Community: Yaay! Such innovation! Very cloud! Much wow! 🎉
Trump: Thou shall not use US services.
Developers: Where's my code? 😭

I think vertical monitors are very useful for terminals, web and documents, - and that's what I use the most. But I need a horizontal for video and certain GUIs.
I was using them like this |=| , when I had the luxury of four monitors, now I stick to |= where the lower one is the laptop.
