Coding on a laptop, even a name-drop-tier status shibboleth, is most of your problem. You write code on a 15" screen when you must for physical/location reasons. You shouldn't ever choose to do it or design your workflow around that constraint.
A 42" 4k TV (got it for $2-300 at the start of the pandemic) gives me four 80-90 column text windows on a mid-tier chromebook. You could not pay me enough to do that same work on a laptop, even a $4k MBP.
(But yes, even with lots of real estate 80 columns is still a net win)
I have a 120" 4K monitor at home, and a 40" 2K. However, that entirely misses the point of my comment, which is that I am frequently away from my desk while working. I'm not sure what point you were trying to make.
Invest in the Vision Pro. It will change your life.
I was also looking at the XREAL Air 2 Ultra, seems more practical for travel, but the idea of an ultrawide screen sounds really nice. I might take your advice.
