There is nothing professional, analytical or scientific about Gas Town at all.
He is just making up a fantasy world where his elves run in specific patterns to please him.
There is no metrics or statistics on code quality, bugs produced, feature requirements met.. or anything.
Just a gigantic wank session really.
Are you being sarcastic or serious? Meeting requirements is implicitly part of any task. Quality/quantification will be embedded in the tasks (e.g. X must be Y <unit>); code style and quality guidelines are probably there somewhere in his tasks templates. Implicitly, explicit portions of tasks will be covered by testing.
I do think it's overly complex though; but it's a novel concept.
Everything you said is also done for regular non-ai development, OP is saying there is no way to compare the two (or even compare version x of gas town to version y of gas town) because there are 0 statistics or metrics on what gas town produces.
It's 3 weeks old. If you're so desperate for numbers, give it a go?

I think if you'd read the article through you'd know they were serious coz Yegge all but admits this himself.
