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

    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!

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

      However it's not a worse idea than all the other things we rely on cloud services for like banking, healthcare, booking a taxi, ordering food, navigation, communication...

      as if you're supposed to buy like 8 H200s or something or code by hand is the solution

      I don't get how this is a gotcha, there simply is no world where everyone has their own self hosted frontier model
