alt Hacker NewsThis is almost a year behind Steve Yegge's first post on beads. Gas Town and Gas City provide orchestration for the swarm. So far I haven't seen a perfect implementation but this idea isn't new.

Everything Steve yegge has done has been trash. That's why nobody is talking about beads or gas town. It was clear even in the beginning that it was a borderline AI-psychosis-fueled trash fire.

Does every peice of prose published here have to be novel? is it not enough for you to read a new. perspective?
I don't think Gas Town was actually all that much ahead of the curve - see Cursor's swarm post from January this year, mentioned at the very top of this blog post.
I also don't know that beads is a very strong example that Yegge knows what he's doing - it's famously been described as (pseudo)malware.
