We just launched the @Link CLI: github.com/stripe/link-cli. Tell your friendly neighborhood agent about it -- agents can use the Link CLI to create single-use credentials that you get to synchronously approve each time. I asked Claude to buy itself a gift. It chose HTTPZine on Gumroad.

Over the weekend, my team at @stripe converted the company's largest JS codebase from Flow to @typescript. We modified about 3.5 million lines of code, and then hundreds of developers came in Monday morning ready to write TS.
