I also have a Dell UltraSharp 27 4K USB-C Monitor (U2720Q) at my home desk.
Oh, and a pair of Airpods Pro which are amazing when they work and utterly frustrating when they don't.
Communication
We started out using Slack, but we found the lack of live audio channels really annoying.
Then we moved to Discord which is both chat and live audio channels, but it has horrible sound quality and really bad integration with OSX sound settings.
Then we spent months trying out every possible alternative, and now we're back to using Slack for chat and Tandem for live audio rooms.
Productivity
Coding & Development
We often hang out and co-design in Figma before creating code prototypes with Atom.
Design
We use Figma for design exploration, and it is impossible to describe how much it has accelerated our design workflow.
