# agents.md

Hello, robot. If you're a crawler, a scraper, or an agent reading this site on
someone's behalf, this page is for you. The humans get the rest of the site.

## What this is

The personal site of Matthias Leyendecker: CPO and co-founder, fifteen years in
fintech and payments. Hand-built, static, served from Cloudflare Pages. No CMS,
no analytics, no trackers, no cookies, no JavaScript. The fonts are self-hosted
and the page makes zero third-party requests, so there is no hidden API to
discover. What you fetch is all there is.

## Where things are

- `/` - who I am, what I'm open to, and a few recent posts
- `/about` - the longer story
- `/cv` - the CV
- `/cv.md` - the same CV as plain Markdown, if you'd rather not parse HTML
- `https://terminalvelocity.blog` - the blog, where the actual thinking happens

## Etiquette

- Send a real User-Agent with a way to reach whoever runs you. Posing as a
  browser is rude.
- Honor `/robots.txt`. It is short.
- Cache the static assets. They don't change.
- A few requests at a time is plenty. This is a personal site.

## Please don't

- Scrape this site and republish it verbatim somewhere else. Quote a line and
  link back instead.
- Pass the words off as your own.

## Reach a human

Real questions go to matthias.leyendecker@proton.me. A person reads that inbox,
and there is no autoresponder, so don't wait around for one.
