A year of @Markpreston1969 spotting dots and me working out how to connect them. Proud of where we've landed. If you've got tons of reviews doing nothing, give EndorseHQ a try. I'd love to hear what you think.

Is #claudecode's - dangerously-skip-permissions still asking anyone else for permission? It never used to. Only since Fable 5.1 ?

To be clear. This wasn't a service issue. The client is in financial difficulty. They've cut every external consultant, not just us. I could have delivered flawlessly and still lost that 24%. So the job now isn't to win one big replacement. It's to make sure no single client can do this to me again.
lost a big client. nearly 25% of my income. then I noticed another client was 25% too. two clients. half my income. that’s not a client mix. that’s a risk.

Got back from a week away in Tenerife this morning at 5am. Lovely break. Now back to it. What did I miss?

A native SEO app has three different jobs to do: - Find technical problems - Explain which ones matter - Make the next audit easier The crawler is only the first job.

Working from somewhere different is great until one missing piece of office kit becomes the whole day. What is your non-negotiable?
