Nico's Commentary
Having had a bit of a fight with Claude over weeks trying to make these summaries good on this page, I have some sympathy for whoever was responsible for the updated copilot ticket summaries. I thought the flurry of "prompt engineering" roles a couple of years ago were a cynical joke but now they have vanished I feel like I should hire one!
It's time to renew this article Contracting is all in the preparation but I'm airing it here because it keeps coming up. Colour code your gear for site visits, have backups for everything mission-critical, etc. It makes such a difference!
