“But his awkward delivery and forced enthusiasm during Apple's increasingly rote stage demos was painful to watch”

Oh, this is #fun.

#Applebot - Apple's web crawler, used for various things - is ignoring robots.txt rules governing crawling of websites.

I have Applebot (and Applebot-Extended, which isn't really a crawler) in my robots.txt files, set to disallow all access. Has been that way for #yonks.

And Applebot is consistently the highest-traffic crawler to my sites - at least of ones that actually bother to fetch robots.txt. Yesterday, for example, Applebot fetched robots.txt from one of my websites almost 800 times.

Yes, it's really Apple, not someone faking the user-agent identifier. It's coming from the networks that Apple says can be used to identify Applebot access. DNS matches, everything.
e.g. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/119829

So: legendary Apple software quality. Documented to do the right thing, but actually doing the wrong thing. And completely failing to cache content, fetching the same file 800 times a day when it hasn't changed in years.

Hey, Apple! Need a software engineer who's actually, you know, good at it? I'm available.

Users don't care about software quality or «[…] the qualities that software exposes on the outside are largely independent of its inner workings» and other lies developers tell themselves.
