Yegge Says Opus 4.7's 'Just Two More Things' Tic Burned Down an Entire Framework — and Calls Fable 5 the Only Trustworthy Model
Simon Willison highlighted a Yegge quote on August 4: Gas Town, Yegge's earlier orchestration framework, 'was intended to be reusable, but I only ever wound up using it to build itself.' In the source essay Yegge blames Opus 4.7 specifically — it introduced a 'just two more things' behavioral tic that prevented convergence on finished work, where Opus 4.6 had run Gas Town fine. He describes Claude Fable 5 as dramatically more capable, wielding codebases 'like a sword,' and the only 'reasonably trustworthy model in existence today.' This is a rare public claim that a point-release regression destroyed a working production harness.
