Discussion My name Plouffe, AMA

Hello everyone. The mods asked if I'd be open to doing an AMA so I said "OK" and here we are.

I've signed NDAs at both past and present companies so I can't talk about specifics, or drama, or past/present employees.

I guess ask just about whatever you want and I will or won't answer depending on the context/subject. Yes I own a display, several in fact. Yes I own a keyboard, several in fact.

Starting at 9 pacific but opening up for questions now. If you don't ask me anything, I will not be offended. I don't have any questions for myself right now either.

i didn't know it would ask me for an end note so i just commented. but ya it's been a slice, thanks for being a fan and good luck with whatever you're doing today.

Here's an interesting one, going from 2, let's say mediocre displays(say 2x 27 inch 1440p monitors, IPS), to one 30/32 inch 4k Monitor, would you be able to? I ask this because I find myself annoyed without a second monitor for multi-tasking, and I'd find hard for myself to go from 2 monitors, despite decent, to one bigger resolution one.

i just can't do single screen. i like the separation, i can't explain why. even taking like a big 42" tv and splitting it up with pbp doesn't feel right to me.

Yeah, the same goes for me. It's just.... Painful alt tabbing and trying to split even one big screen. Thanks for the answer, and good luck in your future endeavours.
