I remember trying to use one edition of MSDN (MicroSloth Developer Network if I recall correctly) on my laptop a few years ago. Whoever had developed the UI for it had been using a giant monitor because on a small laptop screen the article contents in the right-hand detail panel didn't word-wrap correctly, so reading the article required constant scrolling left-and-right with the horizontal scroll bar (which sometimes didn't even show up). For six months I just got in the habit of copying-and-pasting the contents into a simple text editor so that I could actually read the shit normally.
I've long advocated making developers use the shittiest equipment and no extra monitors, just to ensure that what we build actually works on most machines. I'm not a monster: the money saved could be used to give developers ACTUAL FUCKING OFFICES.
There are browser tools to emulate different devices.
It's two button clicks to test layouts. Just laziness or lack of ability.
That's why you should always test on a variety of screen sizes including mobile. That however doesn't mean you should make your devs work on terrible machines. Then you end up in situations where it dosen't scale correctly. It's also terrible for developer productivity, many of whom don't even work on the front end. I don't think the cost of PCs is anywhere near that of offices, and I suspect the reason for not having offices isn't monetary anyway.
TIL I have the same treadmill desk as Linus.
Edit: and he also appears to ignore the safety clip.
Don't forget Subsurface.
Are the desk legs actually angled in the bottom picture or is it a weird perspective thing? If it's on purpose, why?
aesthetics, i would guess. everyone has different tastes.

Yea because to make Linux and GIT you have to have starkly different world view.
And the guys who invented UNIX did so by using toggle switches and teletypes...
There was some old interview with Linus. He said that the first thing people usually notice about the setup is the standing desk (this was long ago, and he was a bit of a trendsetter). The second thing they notice is the wall colour. It's used in mental hospitals. It has a calming effect on human mind.
