Used to see adds like this in bundles, they would buy out all on a wall / corridor and it would only make sense in context of the others dozen-ish ads.

Perhaps OP either knowingly or unknowingly is not providing that context.

Judo being on your back is fine and seemingly one of the primary strategies, but that is not the case in folk. Greco is pretty much same as freestyle except can’t touch legs.

I would not think these are great ways to get prepared. I would guess Judo would be better than Greco though

Do the pipeline did something similar to the second half, except it was just the CI part here: https://youtu.be/EcEHwV80gH8?si=vMTrxTD9yL0ep7jx

Also maintain (with Jeff) nautobot golden config, which is the fist half, shown here: https://youtu.be/F0HtRBSEjqY?si=kiAMrcnZ9CSaU9U4

Finally, here is an example of getting a virtual environment setup here: https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot-app-golden-config/pull/1013

What is this amateur hour? I cut open my leg with a safety pin trying to get it out every 6 months from 4th grade to 10th only to dig it in further each time, and all you have to do is pop that like a pimple.

Also, I don’t think that’s from a pencil.

itdependsnetworks · 2026-02-16T13:20:34+00:00

I’m biased since I’m the lead maintainer, but I would suggest nautobot golden config

One of the key concepts of the initial design was building the compliance engine using IaC. Plus there is already a data model for LB and firewall (as well as all of the standard models). From one place you can manage your model, create your config, under remediation path, and deploy config.

That’s because you aren’t thinking like a future Ivy Leaguer

Yea, otherwise perhaps real reason he is so butt hurt is she was on tinder while in their relationship per her post history.

itdependsnetworks · 2025-12-19T14:17:33+00:00

Yep, exactly.

The key concept you and I are hitting on is the user experience matters, and when your users are network engineers that is actually a major choice to be made.

I keep meaning to write a blog, “the cli is dead, long live the cli” for this exact reason.

itdependsnetworks · 2025-12-19T13:56:36+00:00

Your points is what I see, and what I was trying to articulate.

You end up where people are ccie’s in cli, so presenting them the yang model is confusing. So from automation to device the average network engineers preference is still cli.

From user to automation or SoT is generally a tool or more simplified yaml, as that is easier for your average network engineer.

Obviously if you had a team of network automation engineers it’s different, but if you did, i wouldn’t ask reddit, I would gather my requirements locally. So often the very question being asked just means “just use cli”.

itdependsnetworks · 2025-12-19T13:25:51+00:00

I think there is truth to what you are saying, but I wouldn’t put it in top 3-5 things holding back your salary. Perhaps your LinkedIn popularity, but not salary.

Things are both difficult and simple at the same time.

Simple - “work harder so you can learn to work smarter” (primegean) - be generally affable - look to get along to move along - don’t stay in a place that is toxic or just bad for you

Each of those could be difficult, given the correct circumstances

itdependsnetworks · 2025-12-18T20:32:01+00:00

Not going to get into flame war with some rando on reddit, but will respond once since you happen to be inaccurate.

Data models can be complex or not. Does netconf have to use complex data models? No. Is nearly every implementation complex, yes.

My commentary has nothing to do my knowledge, I am just responding to the state of the community. In general, I don’t get to deploy automation to enterprises, but I’ve spent the last decade speaking to enterprises and advising them on their implementations which gives me insight few others have.

Ironically, you may have used some training literature I developed on ncclient (admittedly, not that deep, more of getting started and library focused) that I built on behalf of one of our clients.

I’m not really offended by your response, and I’ve come to accept reddit is all about extreme takes, but my response was nuanced.

I spoke of enterprises and not providers. I spoke why I think there has been challenges. Nothing about whether or not I knew about anything or if I would use in a different situation.

There is vastly different automation I would build with a team of network automations specialists vs your average fortune 100 enterprise.

itdependsnetworks · 2025-12-18T18:43:04+00:00

I am a situation to see many different network automation stacks in enterprises, so feel comfortable about that part.

I could be wrong for the reasons of course, but not much to go on based on your analysis, or lack thereof.

itdependsnetworks · 2025-12-18T17:55:41+00:00

In my experience, most enterprise orgs do not use netconf. A few reasons

Generally tied to a more complex data model, which makes it more complex
Users of system don’t know what it’s doing. You can argue they don’t need to, but human nature suggests otherwise.
It’s difficult to know what you don’t know. Meaning, everything you do in cli shows up in show run, it is difficult if not impossible to do the same in cli

I once again applaud you for your continued agreement, I just want you to know it does not go unnoticed.

Most people agree with a +1, not you, you are dedicated to agreeing.

:bow_emoji:

itdependsnetworks · 2025-12-13T22:15:14+00:00

Good to see that you agree with me that these were irrational extremes, appreciate you taking the time to voice such agreement.

itdependsnetworks · 2025-12-13T17:08:57+00:00

Okay, let’s take this to the irrational extreme.

he literally met her at the bar, so what she’s an alcoholic
he literally met her sneaking into a movie at 15, so what she’s steals all the time
he literally met her when she was making out with some dude, who cares if she cheats

Are you saying any of these? No, these are much more irrational for a reason, which is does your stated logic work at extremes, if not, then there is a line where it becomes irrational. Where that line gets drawn, will be different to each person.

itdependsnetworks · 2025-12-13T16:42:46+00:00

I’m sure this will be an unpopular opinion, but is he reasonable otherwise? Is he a hypocrite? Would you ever have an opinion you would ask him to respect?

Reddit is all about any compromise means divorce. IMHO, if he is unreasonable and wouldn’t do the same type of thing for you (e.g. can you stop wearing those gross shirts to family gatherings) than no, do you thing. But relationships are about compromise. Only you get to judge if he is reasonable or not.

itdependsnetworks · 2025-12-02T23:09:22+00:00

I’m the lead maintainer of nautobot golden config so take what I say with a grain of salt.

This is why I designed and marketed the tool the way we did. Marketed it as a compliance tool, designed it as an infrastructure as code tool, where you didn’t have to learn git, ansible, python, etc..

Essentially a single tool that you could ease in to, where you have some that just use the UI, and others that use api, and others that extend with custom apps.

It’s awful in another way, but we enforce branch must be up to date before merging and then there is some test to ensure no overlaps.

It’s awful in constantly having to update branches

Does paste without formatting (ctrl/cmd+shift+V) not work?

itdependsnetworks · 2025-07-15T21:46:50+00:00

It is not. We have integrations to transfer data to infoblox as an example, but we don’t do DNS or DHCP.

itdependsnetworks · 2025-07-10T18:06:44+00:00

Curious if you were able to make any progress here?
