Yuchen Jin argues that since we no longer write code by hand, phones shouldn't be mobile IDEs — they should serve as control planes for fleets of coding agents: delegating tasks, tracking progress, reviewing work, and watching agents operate remote machines. He believes foldable phones could unlock an entirely new category of agent-native apps.
