On the discussion of the right or wrong tool, I find it possible that the ability to reason towards a goal is more valuable in the long run than an intrinsic ability to achieve the same result. Or maybe a mix of both is the ideal.

It's essentially the same as an engineering lead writing a good jira ticket

Prompt engineering is just good transfer notes and ticket writing, which is something a majority of the devs I've worked with don't enjoy or excel at

But what about their two year head start? If everyone is executing at the speed of light, there will still be winners and losers

So cool, I think all kids would love this

Love the windows XP aesthetic!

Good work. I've been thinking about this for awhile and also experimenting with letting the LLM do all the work, backend logic plus generating the front-end and handle all front-end events. With tool use and agentic loops, I don't see any reason this can't work where it meets the latency needs (which hopefully could be improved over time).

I think every single Windows release has necessitated some registry hacks to bring back useful features from the previous version

Yes, but more and more every version.

Especially true since they ended the service pack model. Continuous updates and hostile feature pushing is absolute cancer.

I've had a flip 3 and flip 5 which both had screen and hinge problems within a year. I love the form factor but just don't take it to the beach.

My flip 5 inner screen is currently unusable so I'm stuck using the small square cover screen which I'm enjoying quite a bit too. I don't know if my next phone should be a flip phone or a small phone, but nothing gets as small or as good hardware as the front cover of these flip phones, vs other small phones

I responded in another thread about the iPhone Air that I wanted something from Apple that's smaller than my current iPhone 13 mini. There are at least two of us!

If they made a flip style iPhone that closed smaller than the mini and opened to similar size or only a bigger, I’d definitely buy it.

My mobile device is a square aspect ratio and thus there is no portrait mode to check this out :(

I will get around to it, sorry! Thanks for letting me know

Weird, what phone?

How often does that aspect ratio ruin things?

It's the cover screen of my zflip 5 with the inner screen being broken. It's surprisingly usable and I find myself wishing more phones were purposefully built at this size and shape.
