What happens when your entire day is depended on saas models? Anyone even considers using their locally hosted models in order to finish their work? Do you trust your local models to do any of you outstanding work? Do we even understand the code anymore to manually fix anything?

Grab a different one, unlike GitHub being down, there's far less of a moat and you can swap out Codex for Claude Code pretty easily. Or any other provider and yes including local models, though it depends on how good the ones you can run locally are.
Do we even understand the code anymore to manually fix anything?
Assuming you are not 100% vibe coding, you should! If you are vibe coding, then you should still be able to read the code and understand it regardless. Same with making any changes, it's just code. Whether it's worth your time to do that and work manually or not, that's a different question.
If I was limited to just one cloud provider, I'd just take a few hours off and have a beverage or take a nap. Or if working in office, find other busywork.
unrelated but also chatgpt is super buggy, try generating an image, click stop, now wong be able to send another message until you reload, this issue has been there for months
Per Twitter/X this appears to be widespread

Friday afternoon in the US I guess, perfect time for things to go wrong.
Looks like someone at OpenAI did a Friday afternoon deployment lol
Excellent work all around, take the rest of the week off.
thank god I'm not the only one, pulling my hair out hitting ctrl+z ... Happy Friday I guess
Codex took an unannounced early day off for the weekend. It happens.
I thought I got banned.
Cool - what were you working on!
Waiting for a pizza.
You?
Watching the trailer for Megaton Rainfall on repeat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XecKu1_O54U
Just a 3D render of a rocket. So I thought it was safe.
China rocket? You are.
Hehe. Next. Now just the falcon 9
It’s my sign to touch grass.
You mean burn?
praise the, grass!
A good time for reading
Or switching to Claude
I switched to Claude. Opus 5.5 was causing fomo anyway. This was the trigger. I admit I have zero loyalty
Somebody really wanted to cross one off the weekly TODO list :)
It's on the status page: https://status.openai.com

Thanks - I put that in the toptext too.

Same plan as for a power outage: Go outside (hacker news), chat with your neighbors and wait.
I remember the days when Stack Overflow would go down. People would actually start seeing each other's faces in the office kitchen.
If the excavator breaks down on a job site does the operator get out, grab a shovel, and start digging?
Or when it rains, do the farmers keep farming?
Honestly an outage on a Friday is perfect. Clean up your inbox, get to the small tasks you’ve neglected and go home early.
Do something else that day?

Nevermind. Switching to Opus 5.5.
I have $200/mo Claude and $200/mo Codex subscriptions and run both agents all day long, so this is just a mild inconvenience.
...okay?
So I recommend this approach.
They getting ready to release a new model?
It's crazy how fast these things became load-bearing
I don't know if related, but a half hour before it fully went down, it was flagging all of my requests as security violations which was bizarre.
Appears to be back online.
