Time to Upgrade Your Monitor
> the 4K monitors the author recommends are not good for macOS due to them not supporting native retina scaling above 1080p
Is this true even with the help of 3rd party apps?
My 3840x1600 ultrawide has that problem using the native screen resolution tools but I can get it to full-res HiDPI using BetterDisplay [0].

Ideal Monitor Rotation for Programmers
It isn't a device, it's a software tool. It doesn't make the monitor magically 2x the resolution; it can trick macos to render onto a 5k buffer and then downscale the output to the physical display so it looks not-broken.

I'm not saying that it'll make 4k look good. I'm saying macOS is unusable on native resolutions - everything is either too small or too blurry, so a 4k display won't do me any good. 25x14 is the sweet spot for me, but I guess Apple decided I'm holding it wrong.

An absolute must-have if you're using your Uperfect lapdock with a Mac!
So I installed the Better Display 2 app [link] , enabled HiDPI 1280x720, and suddenly everything looked both extremely sharp and in a good size. Judging by the size of the screenshot, it mimics Retina 2560 × 1440 and scales it down 2x to 1280x720, making it HiDPI. I can totally recommend you to do as I did.

For all programmers in this sub: You MUST read "Game Engine Architecture“ by Jason Gregory
After you're done with the high level concepts I'd suggest digging into some demoscene material - Ye old pirates of the Demoscene gave rise to SIGGRAPH... Many high performance tricks and tips are shared amongst the scene. A lot of it is oldschool knowledge, but there's a lot of demos for new stuff platforms today. Hell, there's even JS demos using WebGL.
What are some alternatives?
MonitorControl - 🖥 Control your display's brightness & volume on your Mac as if it was a native Apple Display. Use Apple Keyboard keys or custom shortcuts. Shows the native macOS OSDs.
