The team also found a novel attacker that’s staying below the radar of our ddos attack measures but targeting you. We’re getting them blocked on the infra globally too

Nice! Did you turn on active request blocking?

Sean Roberts @javasquip.bsky.social · 2d

did you configure it on the site? You'll need to select which agents you want to block and redeploy (which it can do for you)

Then yes you should see that AI crawler traffic drop

I'm beyond stoked for developers in the age of AI tooling. But I'm even more stoked for what the rest of the team can now bring to the table with coding no longer being a barrier to entry. That, to me, is THE most exciting thing right now

Netlify @netlify.com · 18d

Coding is no longer the finish line. It’s the amplifier.

When every role pairs its strengths with AI workflows, products move faster and feel truer to users.

Very cool! Something we're doing to help position the need for these types of solutions for sites/businesses is the emphasis on Agent Experience (AX). We're doing these things to provide a great AX and that has very real impact. agentexperience.ax goes into this and would love to chat!

🚀 Agents are driving evolution in UX in the age of AI. As user-delegated systems, they’re not just tools - they're a preferred medium for engagement. But what happens when AX (Agent Experience) is neglected? Unhappy users, friction, and lost opportunities

AX: The next evolution in UX

As users delegate tasks to agents, their experience of interacting with digital services now includes this medium. This bring AX under the umbrella of considerations for a service's UX.

Browser networking and id include potentially other nuances like service worker

Sean Roberts @javasquip.bsky.social · Feb 25

I'm not sold on /llms.txt for a lot of reasons - not least of which is the cost for digital services. That said, the same input for humans is not the same as what's needed for LLMs and the format for providing it is also diff - therefore I'm not certain that this is a matter of using the same HTML

Sean Roberts @javasquip.bsky.social · Feb 13

Providing a great DX means providing a great AX for developers that delegate work to agents. This is a great step forward!

It also means a huge need for Agent Experience improvements across platforms and other verticals. Agentexperience.ax is where we’re trying to get the industry thinking collectively, openly about these problems.

Would love to chat with you on this paradigm shift if you’re interested

Agreed. I dealt with a lot of anxiety and self doubt because of this early on. It took a while to realize… oh this is totally normal and no one prepares you for this lol. Now it’s one of my favorite conversations to have because there’s so much distress you can get ahead of by just acknowledging it

This comes up a lot in mentee conversations and I couldn't agree more with @ksylor.bsky.social ! I am especially a fan of tracking your efforts (your own progress bar) and journaling to get your thoughts out of your head and effective listening. Here's ~16 years worth after I realized its value

Right now, AI systems are forced to consume web pages designed for human consumption—introducing unnecessary complexity and inefficiencies. But what if we optimized web interactions for both humans and agents?

The web was built for humans. Now, it must evolve to support AI agents too.

How do we create a web that works for both?

@javasquip.bsky.social explores how we can get there:
