I'm a systems engineer who spends most of my time coding, and I have a quest 2. Unless apple has somehow fixed the big issue of VR headsets having no peripheral vision (you have to move your head to see things not in the cone in front of you, can't just shift your eyes) and relatively shit resolution, using a VR headset as a large screen/screens for text content would still be headache inducing.

The amount you'd have to zoom the text in order to be readable for long periods of time would make it unreasonable to try and code in.

I would love for VR to actually work as the movie idea of an infinite desktop, but in my experience it really falls short in that use case. I'll admit, a quest 2 is a real budget headset, so maybe higher end ones work better for it, but the one high end headset I've used had the same limitations.
