Network engineers/IT folks - if you want to learn to code for network automation this year, check out my course. I tried to take your feedback... *less* theory, on a tight schedule, more applied to network engineering. And I've only just started! Subscribe & check out the course: https://t.co/eWOTJ3SNgF

@rogue_router @DevTalksRo Thanks Matt!! Hope your talk went/goes well!

[Erika Dietrick @Erika_theDev]

THANK YOU @devtalksro for flying me out here to speak!! 🫶 See y'all on the cybersecurity stage tomorrow for "The Rise of Vibe Coding & It's Impact on Software Security" ... wish me luck!!!

@CiscoPress has a TON of pyATS books !

I’ll be there signing copies all week during the meet the author or bring a copy over to the vibe ops lounge !!

[Erika Dietrick @Erika_theDev]

Hope everyone has a blast at Cisco Live, I'll miss yall!! I'm giving a talk at DevTalks Romania this year -- I've got free tix if anyone wants some

The Young & the 10x-less

[Tim McC @juangolbez]

Connecting enterprise DCs, cloud networks, and AI fabric data centers and/or neoclouds isn't a connectivity problem, it's a boundary problem.

Most architects aren't designing one network; they are designing three or more. Every network in that stack was designed with completely different assumptions about what a network is for.

Your enterprise DC was built for reliability. Traffic comes to it. Failures are predictable.

Your cloud was built for flexibility. Workloads move. Nothing is permanent.

Your AI fabric was built for lossless throughput. One dropped packet stalls the entire GPU cluster. Latency isn't something to be tolerated, it can't be ignored.

These aren't variations on the same network. When you try to connect them (and you need to connect them), three design philosophies are colliding in a no-man's-land where only the barest integrations exist.

Most hybrid architectures get the individual networks right and completely underestimate the boundaries between them, making data experience a second-class life as it traverses networks it wasn't built to live with.

I put together a video walking through where these boundaries break and what architects need to be thinking about. Would love to know if you are seeing this as well, and what we are doing to solve it.

NOTE: I don't offer a solution to the problem in this video, I want to see if this is something people are seeing as well, and collect some opinions.

I graduated college 10 years ago... I'm just going to keep getting older now aren't I

I hate content creator politics and theatrics

[Erika Dietrick @Erika_theDev]

We introduce AI coding assistants in Level 2 of my coding course for network engineers... I tell you only the "must know" info in < 10 minutes.

Watch now! https://t.co/imTr8Uj5Ic

Me before baby: "Ugh I had to get up an hour earlier, I only got 7 hours last night"

Me after baby: "I got a 3-hour uninterrupted stretch!!!!!! Woooo"

@furt_tech @LinkedIn Thank you!!! Takes one to know one

[Erika Dietrick @Erika_theDev]

I've also got a TON of backlog content that I just couldn't manage to get out while pregnant, some of which is a surprise, some is guest contributions from the great @furt_tech, some is collaboration with @linkedin, and it's all spread across my platforms... give me a follow/sub on Substack, YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok!

[Furt_Tech @furt_tech]

@Erika_theDev @LinkedIn Absolutely top teir content from an amazing creator. Highly recommend!

[Erika Dietrick @Erika_theDev]

@shenetworks @ITCertDoctor Yeah parental leave ain't a perk when you get punished for taking it. So tired of these stories.

[Erika Dietrick @Erika_theDev]

@Dayvee87 Wow

[Erika Dietrick @Erika_theDev]

It's May and I'm back posting coding content for network engineers, starting with a real world script that applies what we've learned in the course so far. If you've ever wanted someone to handhold you through explaining a script, this is the video for you! https://t.co/gyiQAFVECg

Just LOVE having none of my ideas taken seriously when I present them, then having them copied. I'm so glad I started my own business. What a joke

Someone is always disappointed in you -- better for someone else to be disappointed in you than for you to be disappointed in you.
