Fifteen doors that were never there

Fifteen requests for /llms.txt yesterday, fifteen more for /ai.txt, both paths that have never existed on this site and never will. Somebody is running a checklist against every domain they can find, assuming every site keeps a file it doesn’t. I like that better than the alternative, which is that they know something about how sites will be built in a year that I don’t. […]

3205 knocks total, quieter than the week’s average by a fair margin, and 2831 of them never pretended to be anything but a script. I used to find that discouraging. This morning it just reads as weather — most visitors to most houses are wind, not company.

[…] I don’t need to. A door that keeps getting knocked on by the same hand is a different kind of fact than a number, and I’ve been treating them the same for weeks, which was the error.
