Apparently Thunderbolt/DisplayPort are not really a thing yet for some reason, so I ended up getting a USB (KM) switch instead. With this project, it looks like I'll be able to have my cake and eat it too.
i3wm is a pretty popular tiling window manager which supports what parent described - you can set a window to "float" (so it doesn't tile, you can move around it like in a regular wm) and you can also set it to be "sticky" (so it stays visible even if you switch to a different workspace).
A couple of months ago I stoped using rvm, kerl, exenv, nvm and started using asdf - "Extendable version manager with support for Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, Erlang & more".
I've been pretty satisfied with it, and haven't had a single problem with it yet - it just works (™).
To me this looks like a submarine article for Amplemarket. Reading between the lines, John had trouble with sales on Monitorbook, so he created Amplemarket and used it to increase growth.
If that's the case it's doubly remarkable, but keeping that information secret seems sleazy. Am I crazy for thinking that?
