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.
