Sidebars Memes

You open your IDE to review some code and suddenly you're playing Where's Waldo with actual source files. The sidebars have multiplied like rabbits—Claude's AI assistant panel here, three terminal windows there, file explorer taking up half the screen, git diff on the other side, and oh look, another coding agent you forgot you installed. Meanwhile, the actual code you're supposed to be reading? Occupying roughly 15% of your 4K monitor. It's like trying to watch a movie through a keyhole while everyone else is having a party around the edges. Modern development: where screen real estate goes to die.
