Gas Town has a very clear "mad scientist/performance art" sort of thing going on, and I love that. It's taking a premise way past its logical conclusion, and I think that's fun to watch.
I haven't seen anything to suggest that Yegge is proposing it as a serious tool for serious work, so why all the hate?
First time hearing about this tool and person. Just looked for a youtube video about it and he was recently interviewed and sounds very serious / bullish on this agentic stuff. I mean he's saying stuff like if you're still using IDEs you're a bad engineer. Basically you're 10x slower than people good at agenic coding. HR going to be looking for reasons for fire these dinosaurs. I'm paraphrasing, but not exaggerating. I mean it's shilling FOMO and his book. Whatever. I don't really care. I'm more concerned where things are headed.
