Claude Code goes down for eight minutes. Halts Developers Worldwide. This is why decentralization matters. AWS goes down, Verizon goes down, CrowdStrike and Meta goes down. Decentralization in crypto prevents chains from going down but please, keep telling yourself the norm is fine and we don't deserve better.
