I find the opposite. A good engineer would tell the agent the "know what they know they're doing" part. Let the AI take that direction and context, let it implement/test it 100x faster than a human can by hand, the engineer come back and confirm AI did the job about the same way as they would have wanted it to be done themselves.

If you are a highly paid engineer at a place with unlimited tokens, the incentive is to let your agents run wild and hope something impactful sticks.
Re:iPhone Duo on Thursday September 10, 2026 @02:50PM (#49648562)
From a Samsung Fold 6 user of 2 years...

1) mine folds a few degree short of flat. Not sure if it gotten worse over the years but never noticed not folding flat cause any less enjoyment of the large screen.

2. My screen protector started peeling near the top on the crease close to the 2 year mark. It's growing. Haven't decided what to do about it yet but I'm not against just ripping it and going naked on the inside.

3. 50/50 if an app looks good or not in wide. My usual use case that works great on full screen is web browsing, reading docs/ebooks, zoom calls when someone is sharing code/docs that's normally too hard to read on regular devices, youtube doom scrolling videos with comment/ai summary on 1 view. For those experiences that account for 90% of my reason to unfold it works great.

Foldable phone experience is already past "interesting and fun" use cases to practical and useful day to day. Samsung Fold for American market and the various Chinese manufacturers in China proves that.

AR/VR market on the other hand is still way more niche than practical uses on a day to day.

That's not the reason. It's not expensive to own a laptop and most own some kind of computer.

Fold 6 user of 2 years now. Use unfolded screen daily. I've never had the crease or even noticed it at all because I'm too busy looking at the content.

Better yet multiple foldable phone!

For me, setup like this is not a replacement or even supplement the desk + high focus environment. My use case for these mobile vibecode setup is great though for small exploration/POC/learning/research type of work. Then I take the knowledge learned or any actual useful parts of code and incorporate into my work next time I sit back down at my desk.
Re:Waymo granted permit to begin testing in New York City on Friday August 22, 2025 @02:14PM (#44987778)
NYC is a new set of challenges. As you already mentioned snow and ice is new. But also missing the high density of people and cars per square area. Behavior of drivers and pedestrians are different and much less polite. I can see it working in NYC but "just fine" is a bit of an over confidence... at least not for the first few years before they learn to deal with these issues that they don't face yet in LA and SF.

Ask HN: Recommendation for guides like Azure Architecture Guide?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/guide/I found this helpful as someone trying to learn more about building systems.Any recommendation for more guides like this?There's https://aws.amazon.com/architecture and https://cloud.google.com/architecture but I found both to require some topic in your head already and you need to filter for it.The Azure one is difference since started...

Re:Why Hong Kong Is Still Marching on Sunday June 16, 2019 @09:55PM (#20199206)
I think most protesters are optimistic that if they can keep on winning each political battle like this, something dramatic can happen in their favor in 2047.

Also even if nothing can be changed, one perspective is that it is better to vocally reject rather than accepting in silence.

Feels like that's just his way of brainstorming ideas for side gig. Some of us get inspiration from problems we run int ourselves, some actively read blogs, blogs, trends, etc and try to find opportunities, while this man gets his from finding descriptive domain names.

It's reading like a recipe for success when really it's simply observation on factors that helped the author have a successful career.
