I don't think the op meant Gas Town itself (if they did, my bad), but what has Yegge done with Gas Town? By now it should have released some amazing thing if Gas Town increases productivity so much.

- shermantanktop 6mo agoWhat has Yegge done with Gas Town? Well for one, he has posted a bunch of blog content about it which has generated chatter like this and increased his geek mindshare. Just because he's operating in the realm of smart nerds doesn't mean he is immune to the value-inverting effects of social media.
- coldtea 6mo ago>doesn't mean he is immune to the value-inverting effects of social media. Or those of hype, e.g. AI hype.
- erelong 6mo agoHe's now tried to create a board of a bunch of Gas Towns called "The Wasteland": https://wasteland.gastownhall.ai/ https://wasteland.gastownhall.ai/ (btw I've been wondering the same thing as you and am not sure if there's another answer besides that he and people following his projects keep building projects on their projects: Beads, to Gas Town, to Wasteland, etc.)
- WickyNilliams 6mo agoDon't forget: also using his name and the project to pump some speculative crypto nonsense of which he was a beneficiary. How anybody takes him (or the Ralph Wiggum guy who did the same) seriously after this is beyond me. These people should be exiled
- panzagl 6mo agoI think the main thing he's produced using Gas Town is Gas Town itself.
