I was at a coffee shop in Austin last Tuesday and saw a guy working on a laptop with three screens, and honestly, I think that whole setup is a trap for freelancers.

Man, that setup sounds like a recipe for just shuffling windows around all day. It’s easy to get tricked into thinking more gear means you’re being productive. Wyattc76 has a point that it’s just a tool, but for some people it totally becomes the whole point. You end up managing your setup instead of actually doing the work.

Seems a bit dramatic. It's just a tool, not a life sentence. If it helps him get work done, who cares?

But what if the tool itself changes the work? More screens can mean more busywork, not better work.
