1/8: I was going to do this last week, but family duties took priority. There are many people I'd like to thank for my success with the #DevNetcert exams last week.
2/8: Thanks to @dmfigol for helping me improve my Python skills, and being an honest friend who gave me tough love when I needed it.
@dmfigol 3/8: Thanks to @JasonBelk3 who helped me get started with NSO. Check out this training: github.com/NSO-developer/… ... He also helped me test my vtlcli-docker project!
@dmfigol @JasonBelk3 4/8: Thanks to @shermdog01 who helped me get started with Puppet. His repo really simplifies getting started: github.com/shermdog/devne…
@dmfigol @JasonBelk3 @shermdog01 5/8: Thanks to @nwkautomaniac who spent at least an hour talking to me over Zoom about his work with distributed applications and different database useicases. Really helped me!
@dmfigol @JasonBelk3 @shermdog01 @nwkautomaniac 6/8: Thanks to @JoelWSprague and @DenisPointer for helping me review training content and challenging my assumptions. Ultimately, I think we delivered better outcomes together!
@dmfigol @JasonBelk3 @shermdog01 @nwkautomaniac @JoelWSprague @DenisPointer 7/8: Thanks to @lampwins who helped me understand OAuth2. Like everyone else, he generously gave me his time and asked for nothing in return. I appreciated that!
@dmfigol @JasonBelk3 @shermdog01 @nwkautomaniac @JoelWSprague @DenisPointer @lampwins 8/8: Finally, thanks @Data_Knox and @travispbonfigli for being an intelligent and formidable business competitors. You guys drive me to work harder everyday. Together, we elevate the entire industry :)

I was recently asked how one knows when they've advanced from "junior" to "mid-level" network engineer. There's no stone-engraved rules here, but my thoughts follow. 1/10 🧵
Juniors spend most of their time following instructions from others; physical work (unboxing, racking, stacking, inventorying, etc), managing tickets, running scripts, performing data entry, and so forth. 2/10
This isn't all juniors do. The remainder of the time is spent doing intro-level troubleshooting, such as last-mile circuits not coming up, misconfigured icons on an SNMP up/down map, and hopefully, rapidly learning new things. 3/10

Short thread on how I bought a used Cisco 3750X on eBay and repaired it at a circuit board level. Please RT if you find it interesting!
The device still had a configuration on it and I could not log in. I looked up the recovery procedures which included pushing the MODE button, as is true on most Catalyst switches.
The button didn't work. When I pushed it, it seemed to depress indefinitely, never "catching" like an on/off button should. After trying about ~10 times, I opened the box.

@yandy_r007 @ThreeFDDI Yandy, you are clearly not a far-right loon, and I'm assuming you don't follow them on Twitter. Nate Crowder and at least 2 others have made direct, clear claims that we have overreacted & that forecasts about death counts were exaggerated (in reality, those are just results).
@yandy_r007 @ThreeFDDI My problem isn't so much with the argument that "we need to get people back to work", but rather some of the justification for it that is quite baseless. Few have read the actual university reports (I have), but every media outlet has spun it somehow. That is dangerous.
@yandy_r007 @ThreeFDDI This isn't to smear mud on you or anyone else (Crowder tweets so much it took me awhile to find this), but this is a pretty clear counterpoint to your claim that "no one is saying that". People are ALREADY laying the groundwork for denialist narratives. Image

1/6: I want to share some uncommon but hopefully useful advice during these trying times, especially for those who are short of cash or may soon be. Growing up, my family was borderline "food insecure" ...
2/6: In college, I developed a simple formula for determining whether a food purchase was "worth it": calories per dollar. I also wanted to eat relatively healthy, so I set my target to at least 100 calories per dollar.
3/6: A jar of natural PB normally costs a few dollars but has ~1400 calories, easily a good choice (PB is a staple for me). Fresh spinach, flavored water, and sushi are all tasty, but definitely don't meet the target.

1/4 Tomorrow, I end a very difficult experiment. I've always been interested in how other people's opinions influence how we think, behave, etc. Normally, I don't care about these things, but I FORCED myself to pay extra attention.
2/4 I've been spending more time on Twitter "trending" topics and LinkedIn articles, following the various spats. I've deliberately staked myself in the business of strangers. Here's what happened.
3/4 I've been exercising half as much as usual. I'm sleeping less. I'm curt with my wife. I'm taking longer (lazier) lunch breaks. I'm not keeping up with my chess lessons. I'm slacking in general.
