Ask HN: What's your desktop setup optimized to work with AI?

4 points by yungookim 73 days ago | 1 comment

Just wondering if people have changed their desk or monitor setups to work with AI agents better.

I've been trying out different monitor layouts that are more optimal to work with AI Agents. I put a top monitor that works almost like a HUD (Head-Up Display), with all the agent CLIs running.

My main monitor will be my own work area, but the top one is just a bunch of agents running, so I can monitor them easily by just looking up. If I need to interrupt or work with the agents, I can just look up. I found this much better than using side monitors for posture.

What's your setup?

I just run Claude Code in tmux+alacritty. My favorite terminal is alacritty because it’s simple reliable and in every OS.

I use the same setup across Windows, Linux, and Mac machines. Great setup for constantly using different OSs.
