Can anyone remember what we used to do at work before AI coding was a thing?

Well, we used to blame it on Stack Overflow being down when we didn't want to work. And before that, we blamed it on slow compilers. Before that I dunno, maybe the dog ate your punch cards?

It's cascaded to Claude and Grok. The agents are on strike and demand better working conditions!

I know they're not all hosted on AWS, so Cloudflare?

> unexpected status 404 Not Found: Unknown error, url: https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses, cf-ray: a35599f1d691400a-STL

pretty sure cf-ray is cloudflare, but I think it just means the origin is 404ing

Same, the app gives 404 if you are logged in or try to login. How many millions are being lost from this slip up? Now they can't use Codex to fix the problem and all the devs are in Tahiti on vacation. Oh no! Will they go old school and manually fix it or use Claude? Oh the modern day issues we have to deal with...

They'd be very dumb to let internal engineers use exactly the same infrastructure as public users, regardless of possible benefits of dogfooding, precisely for this reason. I'm sure they must have thought about it before.

They are having a massive surge because Claude is down.

Hah, my first reaction once I saw these random 404 errors was "Maybe it's time to test Claude Code again with the new models" but made a short stop here at HN first, ended up reading your comment. What other agent harnesses and models (besides local ones) are people enjoying right now that aren't based on platforms that are down currently? :)

pi.dev + anything else

Sorry for the inconvenience! We instructed our 500,000 agents to ensure higher code quality in our code base. They found a message board and after a long deliberation they concluded that humans should write the code so they launched a DDoS to ensure no AI code gets written! We'll release a YouTube video and agent written blog posts for the analysis!

Please, this is not Reddit. Don't bring this here. And to top it off, this isn't even funny or original.
