A programmer comic turns “Codex is down” into the perfect excuse for legitimately slacking off: the moment someone says the tool is down, everyone instantly agrees to stop pushing and “carry on” later.
The joke is that the outage itself becomes a socially acceptable reason to pause work, which lands especially well for anyone using AI coding tools in a team setting.
