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.

Even the engineers at these AI companies can't use these LLMs to fix an outage when there is one. Especially SREs.

But if one has to just sit there and "wait" for the outage to subside then perhaps the kitchen timer just went off and declared that these "developers" are cooked.
