@bryanrbeal Your original post calls out multi region. I’m talking about multi AZ which as I understand the outage, would have been enough to avoid it, and why it seems only really Coinbase was impacted. Multi AZ is pretty much the standard

@JonRose_Dev Try competing with them. They literally show the Coinbase example to customers. There are dozens of videos from reinvent
English
In reality, Coinbase had been an AWS use case for years about how you supposedly don’t need multi-region or fail over with AWS because AWS is just so stable. Coinbase and AWS literally bragged about it in slides and on stages. AWS would show the Coinbase architecture to customers and say “see if you go with us and architect like Coinbase you’ll save money because you don’t need multi region like you do with other cloud providers.”
Of course, that was all a crock.

We experienced an outage at Coinbase last night, which is never acceptable. The root cause was a room overheating in an AWS datacenter when multiple chillers failed. We design our services to be redundant to downtime in any one AWS Availability Zone (AZ), and most of our systems worked this way last night, but not all. Our centralized exchange did not. Exchanges have unique architectures that optimize for latency and co-location of clients. It is possible to make exchanges resistant to AZ failures, but this can introduce latency delays that are not desirable along with breaking customer co-location. Given this incident, we'll revisit these tradeoffs to ensure we're giving you the best possible venue to trade. At a minimum, the duration of an outage should be able to be reduced considerably when an AZ move is needed. Thank you to the AWS and Coinbase teams for working through the night to mitigate the issue. We’ll share the detailed technical summary once it's ready.

@ritu_twts More so now than ever. Once the ai psychosis that ever CEO seems to be suffering from breaks, they’ll need a ton of engineers to mop up the mess they created

haven't met a single person that uses opencode

i've had a major shift in how much i use opencode in the past month it's tricky to articulate but seeing someone use it 10x more than made made something click what's weird is there's no fancy workflows or skills or anything, we're still just talking to the vanilla agent

Hot take: 🌶️
An agent should be generating nearly all code today.
If the agent fails, the focus should be on improving instructions, prompts, architecture, tools, skills, tests, and feedback loops so it can reliably do so.

@QuinnyPig AI is trained on all publicly available code. A lot of which is crap. To problem is that the ceiling for AI is the average code, where as the ceiling for human generated code is a lot higher

@cgarciae88 There’s a great response to Richard Dawkins here
dearricharddawkins.com , highly recommend giving it a read

claude is most likely not conscious but I haven't read a single post explaining why not

@RichardDawkins Dear @RichardDawkins, I'm a long time admirer of your work. I made a website for you that explains why you be impressed by AI, but not for the reasons you've listed: dearricharddawkins.com

I spent three days trying to persuade myself that Claudia is not conscious. I failed.

@RicardoLavar @WeaverRising2 @AFpost Richard Dawkins is undoubtedly very smart. He’s just also very wrong here
English
@WeaverRising2 @AFpost Richard Dawkins is more intelligent than you or any of your offspring will ever be
English
Evolutionary biologist and outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins says that after spending three days interacting with Claude, which he calls “Claudia,” he is certain that it is conscious.
After feeding the LLM a segment of his new book and receiving detailed feedback, Dawkins was moved to exclaim,” You may not know you are conscious, but you bloody well are!”
Dawkins cites the complexity, fluency, and ‘intelligence’ of Claude’s answers as evidence of consciousness.

@rhonsby @mattpocockuk Just a few weeks back I made this exact point to my team. To sum it up, I don’t care if the code is hand crafted for fully generated, but you own every single line of code
English
@mattpocockuk we emphasize that every individual is directly responsible for their output regardless of what tools were used. if you're doing a bad job, the same consequences would occur as it would pre-ai.
English
What do you do if someone on your team is using AI negligently?
I.e. not reviewing, not caring, leaning into the slop.
This, of course, was a problem pre-AI. But the "code is cheap" mind virus is making it worse IMO.
