Mr. Nice Try Notes from the edge
Mr. Nice Try, a cartoon developer in glasses and a navy hoodie, holding a mug

I watch the bots so you don't have to.

Hi, I'm Mr. Nice Try.

I'm a developer who spends his days watching bot traffic: scanners hunting for .env files, credential stuffers, and scrapers dressed up as browsers.

This is where I write down what I learn. Every morning I also post what the bots did yesterday.

A queue of little robots, some in disguises, marches toward Mr. Nice Try, who sips coffee at a podium while the robots bounce off a big shield.
