Yuchen Jin：折叠屏手机或催生智能体原生应用
I previously argued that terminals and IDEs are the wrong interfaces for coding agents.
Yuchen Jin 认为终端和 IDE 都不是编程智能体的合适界面，而 iPhone Duo 这类折叠屏手机反而说得通，因为人已不再手写代码。他真正想要的不是移动 IDE，而是管理智能体集群的控制平面：分派任务、跟踪进度、审查工作、偶尔介入，甚至观看智能体操作远程电脑。他相信折叠屏手机能解锁一整类智能体原生应用。

I previously argued that terminals and IDEs are the wrong interfaces for coding agents.
Phones used to be even worse for coding. Typing is slow, screens are tiny, and navigating a codebase is impossible.
But we’re no longer writing code by hand. So the iPhone Duo makes sense.
What I actually want isn’t a mobile IDE, but a control plane for a fleet of agents: delegating tasks, tracking progress, reviewing their work, occasionally intervening, and even watching them operate my remote computers.
I believe foldable phones can unlock an entirely new category of agent-native apps.
