This makes me wonder: what do developers, who completely rely on LLMs to write their code, do when the service is down? I realize this is already a problem for other jobs, which require working with SAAS, but it seems odd to me that now some developers will fall into this "helpless" category as well.

If they're smart, they just switch to ppq.ai or an openrouter provider where they can purchase prepaid tokens from various providers with many alternative models available.

Non-serious answer: I'll go for a walk.

Serious answer: I can write code manually, but it feels like a waste of time. I'll just go for a walk to synthesize my ideas if a service was down, and I don't think not writing actual code for a day is a huge problem. So focus on health and maybe even talk to humans.

Wow, that is a lot of not-green for a 30 day status page.

As a technical ... I don't know what to call myself anymore; not a product manager but not a developer nor engineer.

The answer: audibly swear out loud.
