Ask HN: Do you set the user-agent on your scripts?
Typically I try to remember to set the user-agent on tools/scripts I make, to avoid default agents like `Go-http-client/version` or `python-request/version` but it seems like a lot of projects do not always set it.
Sometimes I will submit patches to projects to fix this, though sometimes I wonder if I'm in the minority of developers who prefer to properly set user-agent.
(I am fully aware and agree that the user-agent for most web browsers is terribly complicated and almost useless at this point. My focus is more on bots/scrapers/etc)
