Now I have 2 monitors, and it’s not enough for me, I want 1 more, so that 1 has a code, another PSD layout, another browser with the result. I wonder how other more experienced developers have with this.

3 monitors is not enough. You will never be enough. Where do you put the browser inspector?)

1 monitor on a 13" macbook, but at the same time 6 virtual workspaces, between which I switch with a gesture.

2 monitors behind the eyes, since in the total amount of work Photoshop is used much less than the browser and editor. I work for 2.
If you have a poppy. Then you can get by with one monitor, the main thing is to master the quick switching of desktops with hotkeys. The effect is almost the same, only you don’t need to turn your head while doing it.

I have 2-a 24 "is also not enough. I want 2 more, but so far I can’t find a suitable mount to make 2 at the top + 2 at the bottom.
Most, as far as I know: 2 full-fledged monitors or laptop + monitor.

I also use gestures on a poppy, I tried an additional monitor - it’s also convenient, but I wouldn’t say that there is a strong gain in speed. what to look at another monitor, what to switch the desktop with a gesture) That's just many people who are used to a second monitor are already suffering when working with one, if there is no way to connect an external one)

More than 2 is not convenient, the third is constantly idle.
Buy yourself a 4k (3840x2160) monitor and one will be enough (before that I had a pair of 2560x1440, for some time there were even three). The price is now quite reasonable.
Well, virtual desktops with convenient hot keys.

I think you need at least 3-5 monitors with 4k resolution.
In general, all this is show-off. Yes, it’s convenient, but guys easily make layout on 13retina. The more experienced the developer, the less resources he manages. If there is nowhere to put money, then it is worth buying a lot of many monics. 23 inches is enough for me. Connected 15 inch chats I read or watch a movie
