Who is this for? Apart from the contributors ofc, who wish to feel good about eternalizing their 'novel' idea

It's a mix of signaling, busywork and productivity porn for the ingroup. A few years ago we had GitHub resource-spam about smart contracts and Web3 and AWESOME NFT ERC721 HACK ON SOLANA NEXT BIG THING LIST. Now we have repos for the "Self-Rewriting Meta-Prompt Loop" and "Gas Town": https://steve-yegge.medium.com/welcome-to-gas-town-4f25ee16dd04 https://steve-yegge.medium.com/welcome-to-gas-town-4f25ee16d... If you haven't got a Rig for your project with a Mayor whose Witness oversees the Polecats who are supervised by a Deacon who manages Dogs (special shoutout to Boot!) who work with a two-level Beads structure and GUPP and MEOW principles... you're not gonna make it.

  I thought Gas Town was a satire until I saw the GitHub. Maybe it’s a very involved satire? It is right? “ Do not use Gas Town.”

  See my comment above. The repository is from May when I was intensely exploring everything agentic. I used it as a public bookmarking tool and also in the hope of receiving contributions. Thanks to this HN share, I received four PRs.

    Anno 2025. Makes a difference I guess.

Hi, author here. Honestly, I just used this as a bookmarking place for myself. Which you could infer if you go through some patterns. I’ve created a flow with CC where I would just dump a new source like a podcast, post, or whatever to have it for reference.

  Thank you for putting it together. I looked at a couple of the references and they look like they point to your blog. Do you have a view at all of popular patterns in terms of citations? Might be useful

    That’s a good idea, will have to think a bit on how to implement it.
