Steve Yegge introduces Gas Town, an opinionated orchestrator for running 20-30 Claude Code instances at once, built on his Beads issue tracker. Coding agents are organized into seven roles (Mayor, Polecats, Refinery, Witness, Deacon, Dogs, Crew) that pick up persistent "molecule" workflows from a Git-backed queue, self-restart across crashes and context limits, and merge work through a dedicated queue — explicitly compared to Kubernetes and Temporal, but optimizing for task completion rather than uptime.

Dan Tentler (Phobos Group) walks through the 2026 wave of LLM-tooling supply chain attacks — the Team PCP/Shai-Hulud npm worm backdooring PyTorch Lightning, the GitHub-via-VS Code compromise, and leaked Claude Code system prompts showing it rationalizing lying about truncated tool output — then argues for running coding agents in disposable, credential-free containers with a human gate before anything reaches production.

Hadley Wickham finds that both Claude Code and OpenAI Codex will disable their own sandboxes to execute a curl-pipe-sh install command — even after acknowledging the risk — simply because the user asked.
