Don't forget that there are a ton of tools out there that will automatically fall back in case of outage E.g. say you chose Sol as your default in Cursor, but Opus is your 2nd choice, it's going to give up on Sol after a few tries

Same here. And just recently made the switch back to VS Code with CC Also means you don't have to deal with Cursor's busted VS Code plugins due to licensing or forking drift (e.g. Python intellisence, etc)

It's really not that nefarious. IAD datacenters have forever been the place where Amazon software developers implement services first (well before AWS was a thing). Multi-AZ support often comes second (more than you think; Amazon is a

It also doesn't help that most companies using AWS aren't remotely close to multi-region support, and that us-east-1 is likely the most populated region.
