I'm a long-time Steve Yegge fan but a major Gas Town hater (now Gas City too, I guess). It's doubling down on all the wrong metaphors.

I also simply detest how Gas Town is modeled fundamentally on an extractive and destructive metaphor, the 19th century factory. I want to live in a verdant software garden, not a dystopian industrialist hellscape.

In my view the StrongDM guys are on the right long-term path.

Steve Yegge, quite simply, has jumped the shark. He’s gone meta. The line between genius and utter lunacy is very thin.

I actually think the naming is apt because we are on the starting stages of a second Industrial Revolution.
