"
The point this time is this: your office space and how you design it is an expression of your priorities as a company. It speaks to everyone who comes through the space, every day. Do not be shy about spending money on it."
And that of course extends to developers' tools. If/when I can get to a city where I can try out $1000 chairs I'm going to buy one (I declined to let my company by me an Aeron chair in 1997 because its not a good fit for my body, otherwise I'd already have one of those). I personally am satisfied with one high end 24" NEC monitor, but I wouldn't object to a larger one (two or three would be bad for my neck).
"just to write code"
Just how important is correct code to you and your ventures?
