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 build on current momentum, improve consistency, trim excesses and tighten the systems and processes that are already working pretty well for me.

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

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.

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.
