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.
