You may furlough the spider, keeping it on 80% pay and telling it to halt building the website until further notice. If it then carries on regardless, you can report it for insubordination and fire it... at your neighbour's window.

@NoMad Sounds like a freelancer. I would only be concerned if it started using WP and lots of plugins.

@NoMad Web devs have a habit of doing that. I found one working at my desk once, completely uninvited, making a right mess of the place.
Given he was a web dev, I decided a flask was the tool of choice, so forcibly moved said flask to relocate him outside.
In this case, the web dev was a human however, and he didn't take too kindly to being chased outside with a flask. -
Just a bit of info about jumping spiders. They can see a mouse moving on a screen. I had a jumper crawling on my screen one time. I moved the mouse near it and it reacted to the cursor. Then I moved it in really fast and it jumped right off the scree. Made me think one could lay a flatscreen flat on the ground and study the behavior of spiders that can see the cursor.

NoMad141614yUpdate: the said webdev and I got into a fight yesterday. I assumed that I killed it. But boy I was wrong. This morning, he's sitting in the center of a freshly developed web.
I think we have to coexist at this point. 😐

A web developer has started working on my windows.
How should I communicate with it that I don't want a website outside my windows? Will this be considered a covid layoff if I just throw it off the said window? 🤔
P. S. I'm talking about a spider, icymi.
