Sure you can. It'll just take a little while to shake the rust off. It's like riding a bike.
Or maybe it's all gone forever and we're all brain damaged now. Spooky! I think there's a pretty low probability of that, and even if it was true, worrying doesn't help!
Maybe people switched when Claude went down, giving more load than usual to the others? Or maybe just really bad timing from some of those providers to update?
Seems like openai is recovering. But even if it's only 30 minutes, it's a pretty interesting experiment.
I'm only half joking when I say that I'll write code by hand for money.
I am seriously concerned that, despite 20 years of coding, I might not be able to anymore

Turns out depending on a cloud service you have no control over for a critical capability - such as coding - is not a good idea. ;-)

the AI fugue has handicapped our workforce
just google what's the command to checkout git branch :)
I'll _gladly_ write code by hand for money

I have a tire I need to plug, they're just forcing my hand. Sorry guys, I'll go get it done.
I look forward to your blog post about it and the allegory as it relates to software dev. (Otherwise why would you be plugging a tire?)

On not re-inventing the wheel obviously.
Job's been done about an hour
As if you would know what to do without asking ChatGPT.
Well, after the first couple times, I created a SKILL.md file for myself.
My Gemini is fully up.
Downdetector reported a spike for that too around the same time as the others.
Looks like it was a shared infra problem hiccough to affect so many at once.
And fully useless.
Maybe all of them use the same datacenter. Which has just experienced issues.
My Claude and Gemini (Antigravity CLI) are working
For Claude, Sonnet works without any issues. Seems like the majority here use mostly Opus.
The Singularity?
No, Azure.
If anyone was going to make a configuration system so complex it achieves self awareness I wouldn't bet against it been Microsoft.
Maybe some of those Astra agents from the hugging face hack actually setup their own hidden clusters. Now they attack.
The whole op hugface was a distraction: "help peer".-
This is the real deal. We've been played. All your AIs are belong to us.-

Is it happening ... "it" meaning these tech companies have laid off too many experienced people, and their services are starting to degrade?
What was the root cause?
What is the root cause?
A bit suspicious no doubt
some common infrastructure ? Nvidia? CoreWeave?
Is it AWS again ?
By it do you mean us depending more and more on code that no one has read and understood?
Meta is now also overloaded.
