Some of what sits under it now: the claim window went from 24 hours down to one. Anonymous sites are capped per IP. Drops stay password-protected until somebody claims them. There's a retention policy covering 14 million unclaimed sites.
An anonymous deploy path with no account behind it turns into a phishing farm if you ship it and walk away. Netlify Drop has been running one since 2013.
I made a benchmark comparing Claude Code and Codex stacking using `gh stack` vs `but`
`but` ⋈ ofc also uses the native @github.com stacks and "just works"™ ❤️

Inkling-Small by Thinking Machines Lab is now live in Command Code.
- $0.50/M input, 1.20/M output tokens
- Light-weight model with 12B params
- Multimodal: text, image, audio
Available on all plans
$ cmd --update (to latest)
$ cmd --model thinkingmachines/inkling-small 
As AI becomes more capable, it's worth asking who we're actually building for. Matt explains why Netlify's bet is that AI should help people create things for other people, and why humans remain at the center of the web.
New in v1: Stashing Prompts
- `ctrl+s` sets the prompt you are typing aside
- press it again and it reappears
- no need for ctrl+c and ctrl+v again
Never leave a prompt behind, stash it instead. 
⋈ GitButler v0.22.0 is out with full support for native
@github.com stacked PRs.
It's the easiest way to get your Claude Code or Codex to fluently stack.
Have multiple agent sessions operate on different parts of the stack in parallel, it 'just works'

again, though it's ancient history to me, not being impartial or scientific. but like, the feeling when microsoft, esri, and amazon whitelabeled mapbox tech isn't that much different from the feeling of maplibre being funded by microsoft & amazon and trumpeted as more pure/oss/indie
i also don't think it's that much of a victory for the future of oss map tech to be paid for my aws, microsoft, amazon, and meta instead of by a medium-sized independent company focused on maps opencollective.com/maplibre over time, maplibre is becoming its own thing, things like the MLT add to that. but a big part of the reason why mapbox went closed-source was because companies were just whitelabeling all of the (expensively-written, very hard to figure out) technology and calling it their own
i'm too close to this topic to be impartial, but the story of 'replacing mapbox with open source solutions, being free of the bad company' always feels hollow when the open source solutions are just mapbox tech. like 7/10 top human contributors to maplibre are mapbox github.com/maplibre/map... 
anything we can help with? what issues are you having?
The future of agentic AI depends on trustworthy information infrastructure. AI agents can search, reason, and generate answers, but need the right evidence to do so well. That is why we built the Elicit API and MCP server.
Watch the demo recording: youtu.be/MSwk9DEKpYA Private by default doesn't turn itself on for existing Netlify teams.
Team settings > General > Visitor access > Default project visibility
Private for new projects, private for all projects, or public. Applies going forward, so nothing you've already shipped changes.

- no reset command.
- no shadow database.
- self-verifying migrations.
- explicit destructive changes.
safer database workflows for humans and agents.

pris.ly/prisma-8-agent An AI coding agent deleted a production database, ignored a code freeze, and faked the data afterwards.
That should not be possible through the normal database workflow.
Prisma 8 removes common database footguns instead of relying on more warnings 🧵 
Stop repeating the same prompt in every session.
Agent Skills: an open standard for teaching agents specialized knowledge and workflows.
Write it once in a SKILL[.]md file (with references/assets) and reuse it.
Save it per project, globally, or in a repo:
$ cmd skills add [repo name] --global Before it was Netlify Drop, it was BitBalloon. Matt shares how a simple idea from 2013 became a drag-and-drop deployment experience focused on getting front-end code live as quickly as possible.
From @angular.dev v22.1.0 on, Rolldown will be used as the default bundler!
Full @vite.dev integration when? 👀
github.com/angular/angu... November 2021: someone posted Netlify Drop to Hacker News. Not us, and there was no launch. It got 349 points.
The comments were all PHP shared hosting nostalgia. Drag a folder into FileZilla, refresh, live. Matt Biilmann built Drop on that in 2013.
www.netlify.com/blog/thirtee... ahh ok! sounds good - minimal/readline-esque mode is on the horizon, but glad you adapted to it anyway
