Same issue here. What was the name of that question and answer site again where you had to manually copy and paste code from? ;-) Official status is still green: https://status.claude.com/ But downdetector is clear: https://downdetector.com/status/claude-ai/ /edit: there's an official incident now: https://status.claude.com/incidents/jm3b4jjy2jrt

vibe coded trash....

Can someone that's worked at one of these big companies honestly explain how it happens that when these guys are down, it's never for like 10-15 mins ... it's always 1-2+ hours? Do they not have mechanisms in place to revert their migrations and deployments? What goes on behind the scenes during these "outages"?

You will run into thundering herd/hotspotting/pre-warmed caching issues when you have to restart. There's generally not an easy to way to switch these sorts of systems on and off, especially a relatively new system that isn't battle-hardened.

I got nothing for the github outages this year though, that seems like incompetence.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Jesus that’s a bad looking status page lol it’s almost a rainbow

Another Atlassian shit show app https://www.atlassian.com/software/statuspage

I mean the functionality of the page seems, acceptable? i more mean the actual outage history is wild.

Well when the coding agents go down who are they supposed to ask what the problem is?

They should probably buy subscriptions to those Chinese agents.
