I was recently on a project and out of the 10+ devs on it I was the only one who really knew about robots.txt, or at least the only one who said hey that robots.txt needs to handle internationalized routes, the default ones we disallow are all in English.

I don't say that makes them bad, they just knew other things, so I can totally not have my mind boggled that someone launched a product like this and didn't take obeying robots.txt into consideration and then adds it to the todos when someone complains.

Programmers have no institutional memory.

agreed, I had to often explain lower level simple stuff was there for them, because they didn't happen to know about that thing and were surprised.
