Celebrating by letting everyone in our community join a virtual constellation in Netlispace.
Been incredible seeing the waves of new developers coming onboard during the last year as coding agents transform how people build on the web and opens up real web development for a much wider audience.
Yeah interestingly API's in their current form are rarely very good for agents. In many cases tools like Operator using a virtual browser and screenshotting are better for agent interactions than API specs.
This shows we need to build better approaches to agent interactions that are not at the level of "run a virtual browser", but that encodes much more of the workflows available than raw API's do today.
for anything more complex than single throw-this-data-there, probably a wizzard-like workflow would be better. The client initiates it but then the server leads it instead of being 100% passive, e.g. "enter (date|name)" >Then> "enter (amount & currency)" >Then> whatever-else. i am not sure if any such thing exists as protocol; usual REST APIs are just an alphabet with client-driven alphabet-punching that can be combinatorially applied without any order ; the server may very well know the correct order but cannot elegantly enforce it.

No, we're moving starter teams with no credit card on file to the free plan. Wan't to stay on starter plan and get billed for overages instead? Just add a credit card.
You choose the behavior that fits your usecase:
Free plan: no accidental bills, but your site may be suspended if you go over the limits.
Starter plan: free as long as you stay under the limits, but you'll get billed for overages.
I spotted Little Workshop when I saw https://equinox.space/ on Hacker News and noticed it was running on Netlify. Loved the fluidness, speed and art direction of a game running directly in the browser and working smoothly on my phone.
Immediately thought of them when we started thinking about a 5 million developer celebration and reached out. Love the result :)
We’re very grateful for the opportunity to create this experience! Huge thanks to you and the Netlify team for supporting innovative campaigns like this one.
I knew I recognized the feel of this project. It did quite well on the front page [0]. Hopefully you and others keep hiring them so we can keep enjoying their work!
