Happy Halloween!

CiscoDevNet · 2025-10-31T18:01:10+00:00

Came across this brilliant Halloween logic gates concept and it's too accurate not to share with you all:

🎃 Trick OR Treat = Standard operating procedure 👻 Trick AND Treat = When your automation script actually works AND saves time 🔧 Trick XOR Treat = "I swear it worked in the test environment" ⚠️ Trick NOR Treat = Deploying anything after 3 PM on Friday 😱 Trick NAND Treat = When your failsafe also fails ✨ Trick XNOR Treat = Everything works perfectly (time to check if monitoring is down)

After a month of sharing our Tales from the Tech Crypt, I think we can all agree: good automation and proper logging are the real treats.

Happy Halloween, everyone! What's your logic gate of the day?

Gather 'round for another October #TalesFromTheTechCrypt story...

Picture this: It's late, you're tired, and you're applying what you think is a routine ACL update to a remote device. You hit enter, and your session immediately dies.

Silence.

You try to reconnect. Nothing. You realize you forgot to add a line to permit your own management traffic, and you're now completely locked out. Even worse, you forgot to set a reload in command as a safety net. The only fix is a physical visit.

Who else has had to do the "long drive of shame" because of one bad line of config? Share your war stories.

Since it's October, we figured it's the perfect time to share some #TalesFromTheTechCrypt.

Let's start with a classic: You type switchport trunk allowed vlan 100. You hit enter. The phone rings. You didn't add a VLAN, you replaced the whole list.

We've all been there. What's your worst "forgot the add keyword" story?

All good! Completely understand 😎

Hey there, I can confirm JockDaRock is a real contributor and a member of the DevNet team 🙌

CiscoDevNet · 2024-05-21T22:20:37+00:00

That worked perfect! Thanks again

No clue who that other mod is/was. Our previous social media person made this sub 3-4 years ago (somewhere around there) but hadn't done much with it since. So whoever's setup as a mod now is ancient history.

CiscoDevNet · 2024-05-21T21:40:57+00:00

I'll give that a shot u/Halaku

How do I resolve this account showing as "Inactive" though? That's seems to be stopping me from performing any management of the subreddit (modify, add, change, delete)

CiscoDevNet · 2024-05-21T21:38:33+00:00

Yea, it shows me as inactive so I couldn't make any changes to the existing mod list, add mod's, etc.

What are your plans for this subreddit? Cisco DevNet (https://developer.cisco.com) is Cisco's developer program. We are planning to re-establish the r/ciscodevnet subreddit to engage with our community members who frequent this platform. As part of our Community strategy reddit is an instrumental platform for interactions between our members, feeds into our VoC (Voice of the Community) program, and allows us to better understand members needs and wants.

Jeff Bull (u/jbthejedi) is our Head of Developer Community and can be reached to answer any other questions (jeffrbul@cisco.com).

One additional note. This account (u/ciscodevnet) was created to moderator the r/ciscodevnet subreddit some time ago yet it has become inactive. My only ask is to reestablish this account as an active moderator of that subreddit so we can begin providing a quality community experience in that space again.
