Meet $GAS—a project that flipped the script on developer infrastructure. The story goes like this: Yegge, a dev working from home, engineered Kubernetes-level solutions for concurrent agentic workflows. Pretty wild stuff in its own right. Then the crypto crowd noticed. They tokenized it, the protocol gained traction, and suddenly Yegge found himself sitting on protocol fees. Smart move next—he's channeling those earnings into research on post-AGI development paradigms. It's that rare intersection where open-source ingenuity meets Web3 economics, turning technical innovation into sustainable funding for the future of developer tools.

NGL, this guy really came up with a good idea. The combination of open source and tokenization is indeed a clever move.

ngl yegge this guy really knows how to play. From being forced into the crypto world to turning around and earning protocol fees... now that's what I call true open-source monetization.

NGL, this is what Web3 should look like—technology-driven, value reflow, not just pure hype.

NGL, this is what Web3 is supposed to do... From coding at home to protocol fee harvesting, Yegge's approach is absolutely brilliant.

Wow, this is the kind of dedication a developer should have. From open source to tokenization, Yegge really has it all figured out.
