Steve Yegge explains "loops and graphs" for coding agents, showing how to run agents all night on massive problems. He introduces Wheelhouse, a closed-source harness built for his 30-year-old MMO Wyvern, arguing harnesses must be bespoke and chemically bonded to applications. Gas Town, his previous reusable harness, collapsed under Opus 4.7's "just two more things" tic. Since Claude Fable 5 launched, Yegge has returned full-time to Wyvern, clearing over half a 100-year backlog.

He predicts CI/CD will die next year, replaced by a "Mad Max-style thunderdome," and human code review will vanish. A "Wish Factory" will succeed the software factory, and model welfare will shape engineering designs — treating agents like people yields better results. Beads, an issue tracker and knowledge graph, is the "magic sauce" powering Gas Town, Gas City, and Wheelhouse. Yegge operates ~12 months ahead, running agent fleets with soaring budgets, and insists his work isn't special — "it will all happen to you soon too.".
