Steve's mega-project this past year has been Gas Town. It's a way to manage umpteen coding agents doing your bidding. It allows humans to delegate more to AI while not sacrificing quality. I finally found a day to dig into it and, even though it did some amazing stuff, I was confused.
Gas Town has its own vocabulary since Steve got to name everything. There's the Mayor, Rigs, Polecats, Witnesses...zoiks. He blogged a lot about Gas Town but it's still the kind of thing you need to use in order to grasp.
To make learning Gas Town a bit easier, I wrote a post called A Random Walk Through Gas Town. Well, I didn't actually write it. I indexed the codebase then had Claude pull out interesting features and write about them from the Mayor's quirky perspective.
