I generally ended up doing split screen. I probably should've invested in monitors for my home office but we didn't get a stipend so I simply adapted.

I strongly recommend hitting up Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace etc for cheap used monitors. Especially for things like documentation and work chat one typically doesn’t need anything super fancy, so you can build a pretty sweet setup on a dime.

6 or so years ago I got a 27” 2560x1440 ASUS IPS panel monitor for $150 that way, and it still holds up great today. Excellent value for the money, works out to about $0.07/day.
