It's rare in history that a software product can be so unreliable without any negative business impact because it's the category leader and demand only keeps growing.

Reminds me of the early days of World of Warcraft, when servers went down frequently because Blizzard couldn't keep up with all the load. Everyone was frustrated but of course nobody stopped playing.

A single nine so far. If github is any guide thing will get worse.

Why would Github be a guide? It's also terrible, but it's a radically different stack from an unrelated company

That, and even before AI, MS was having trouble with GH reliability

Hug ops to everyone involved in these outages and trying to maintain uptime.

But glad my team is staying nimble and has multi-model (Anthropic, Codex, Gemini), multi-modal (desktop, CLI/TUI, web) dev tooling.

As our actual coding skills collectively atrophy, we'll either need to switch tools or go for a walk when the LLM is down.

In the cloud era I advised against a multi-cloud strategy, as the effort to impact just wasn't there. But perhaps this is different in the LLM era, where the cost of switching is pretty darn low.

From 5 9s to 9 5s

The question is is it DNS or an AI outage. Hmmmm

Just another Mythos breakout. Excuse us while we airgap the affected DC and send in a team to drive framing nails into every storage device in the building.

We've been running our 10 dev org on 8 H100s on open models (with some tweaks). Sure they aren't as good as the big providers but they 1. don't go down 2. have pretty damn high tok/s. It pays for itself.

Posting with a fresh account because I'm not supposed to share these details for obvious reason. If you want help on setting this up, just reply with a way to reach you.

I think we all deserve a little break right now.

I'm experimenting with a simple ritual: if Claude is out, I'm out. I'll just go for a walk outside. And I don't mean "if I can't access Claude to do my work", I mean, just in general - I'll just ping claude.ai from time to time and use Claude's breaks as a break reminder. Why should AI get a breather and not us?
