Reading up on Beads

Steve Yegge describes his AI software factory's fuel crisis, oscillation problems, and the seat abstraction as a way to build trust and cut token costs.

Steve Yegge explains that AI orchestrator fuel costs stem from distrust, showing how seats cache trust to cut token usage and avoid over‑fencing.

Yegge demonstrates that a Beads‑driven orchestrator with rotating Claude Max accounts lets agents run nonstop loops, eliminating CI/CD and human code review for his Wyvern MMO.

The Agent Flywheel methodology consists of exhaustive planning using frontier models, converting plans into beads, and launching agent swarms for rapid code generation.

Steve Yegge built Gas Town, a Kubernetes-like orchestrator that runs 20-30 Claude Code agents simultaneously for high-throughput vibe coding and automation.
