I'm a firm believer in the clean-desk policy!
Which is why I keep my desk covered with papers and junk -- no dirt can even get close to it.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

I've used a similar explanation to those uninitiated to being busy doing things (vs. undoing things by neatening up).
My desktop layers, however, are organized something more akin to:
TirassicJurrasicCretaciousetc.What's most interesting - they're not even chronologically stratified.

More or less a mess.
- used, but clean glass yogurt pot; plastic plant.
- clean lunch box (tupperware-ish) that I forgot to bring home.
- dust bunnies.
- empty coffee cup (from this morning)
- screen.
- dust bunnies.
- screen.
- dust bunnies.
- star wars Lego.
- dust bunnies.
- flashing office phone with a couple of voice mail (forgot the password, and don't care).
- radio (just in case the internet is down)
- dust bunnies.
...
I'd rather be phishing!

3) A mug
4) A "Bing Bang Theory" calendar
5) Cell phone
6) Keyboard
7) Mouse
8) Two monitors

Empty Desk - Empty Mind.
But that's well known. If one has time to clean the desktop every day then you've truly not enough to do. Or one just sits there and smiles behind the shiny wood.
For us real workers? If I put IT down and IT is there when I look for IT again, then IT had been functionally been properly put away.

I looked at his barren desk and asked "so an empty desk is a sign of what?"

Is it valuable or a good idea to know more than one web stack? I've spent most my time working with C#/ASP.NET and associated tech but the majority of guys I am close with in my area use MEAN stack, in addition, my goals are to work for a startup or smaller business and they tend to use MEAN stack around here as well.
For this reason, I've been learning MEAN, which, in reality, the A and other front-end stuff is actually used in ASP.NET often anyway, so there is some overlap in knowledge.
However, my OOP brain isn't used to thinking functionally like I have to in MEAN sometimes, and it's a challenge for sure, but also fun. If nothing else, I figure I can weigh the pros and cons of both stacks and use them when convincing an employer to use either one.
