Optimizing 2026
Setting a Direction, Not a Destination. Out with the 'new year, new me' resolutions that are typical for January. Rather than treating this month as the quintessential reset button it is often viewed as, I'm opting to treat it more like an opportunity for optimization. A chance to…

Are you a #Python user and a lifelong learner?
I've just published my 8th annual list of every Python-related Black Friday / Cyber Monday sale I'm aware of.
my favorite protocol
This was fun to follow along with, duplicate and modify. Great concept for training traditional network engineers on Python syntax, data types, concepts etc. Very edifying. #python #devnet #devops #networkautomation
We are wildly unprepared to think about and manage water as the precious and limited resource it truly is.

Personally, I think that duality is the only way to cope - or at the least not go completely insane. It's a weird balance but a very necessary one I think.
Can I add a loopback interface on R1 using ... VS Code?
Not .. write the code in VS Code to do it
Actually use VS Code to do it

Practical hands on troubleshooting experience based on the retired #TSHOOT exam from back in the day!
Network Learning OG style! lol Can't wait to dig into this.
Awesome! Thank you John and definitely will.
Geeked 🤓 at what was waiting for me on my doorstep after work! Can't wait to jump into #pyATS
#Cisco #NetDevOps #neteng
Really good pod/intro to pyATS. As an engineer the use cases presented herein - going beyond config-automation & focusing on automated network validation/testing - speaks volumes to me. Think I'll dip my toes into this end of the automation pool first. Exciting stuff. #pyATS #Cisco #neteng

Much like Infrastucture as Code - where we defined a YAML source of truth and intent file that we drove configuration with using jinja2 templates
Infra as Agents an agent per-device we control in a hierarchy with a main agent making the decisions on which sub agents to invoke
Infrastructure as Agents!
So I have a main agent that can call subagents, one per-device, and I can manage this whole topology of 4 devices all from natural language
This is pretty cool
Getting geared up for a busy and hopefully highly productive 2025. Starting with separating my personal views, opinions and interests from my professional musings and personal enthusiasm for all things networking & tech.
Ready to #ThriveIn2025! Let's Go!!
