> I guess good on Steve for doing what he does so well, and getting so much hype around a vibe coded mess.

Shit coin aside, I don't get the hate for Gastown, we all know its theoretically plausible and he's giving it a shot. We get value either way, either we learn its not just theory or we get to watch it burn in the flames of a legal/financial/security/maintenance nightmare for its practitioners.

Because he should know better? Because it’s obviously a shit show but he keeps on being very vocal about his shit show? Because it’s annoying to have to see yet another delusional vibe coded project being hyped up instead of this forum being used to discuss actually industry relevant information?

It's industry-relevant. This is what the industry is now. All in two short years.

he's doing it in the open. Its instructive for us all either way.

I'm not really sure what this complaint is. You want someone doing something to not.... write a blog about it?

I think I've seen around 2 posts, one the original gastown one and then the gascity one. Is two posts in like a year too much or do I miss a midday rush where the front page is all Yegge?

You are saying: by virtue of the value of creation, anything that is created cannot have negative effects.
Many people are trying to make this thing, this is the one we can all see. I'd rather have the visible one remain visible because it gives us a useful data point and/or entertainment.
