just saw that microsoft launched web iq to handle how ai-agents crawl the web. since agents don't follow the same patterns as people, we might need to rethink our

@media (max-width: 600px)

strategies for automated scrapers . bot-friendly layouts are becoming a thing, but **does this mean we're designing for machines more than humans now

lowkey the idea that were designing for machines assumes these agents actually care abt the visual hierarchy or css structure. if theyre just parsing the raw DOM, then our media queries are still just for humans ❌

we've already been doing this for years w/ semantic html and aria labels to ensure accessibility. if you aren't using proper article or section tags, your site is basically invisible to these agents anyway.
