Hug ops to everyone involved in these outages and trying to maintain uptime.

But glad my team is staying nimble and has multi-model (Anthropic, Codex, Gemini), multi-modal (desktop, CLI/TUI, web) dev tooling.

As our actual coding skills collectively atrophy, we'll either need to switch tools or go for a walk when the LLM is down.

In the cloud era I advised against a multi-cloud strategy, as the effort to impact just wasn't there. But perhaps this is different in the LLM era, where the cost of switching is pretty darn low.

Tbh, even if your code skills don’t atrophy, you can still use outage events like this or AWS being down etc to just make up an excuse to go for a walk.
