@John_Capobianco This needs broader awareness. I once needed a way to automate inventory data collection for a large CheckPoint firewall deployment and adding support to pyATS for the platform was straightforward and got it done. I’d love to see more platforms added. Looking forward to the book!

@Viss Oops, my bad. I assumed you had moved from OS X to Windows. I don’t know of any good Linux alternatives.

[Sam Johnson @TestingBytes]

@Viss Have you ever tried Greenshot? I find it’s arrows, obfuscation, and markup options are pretty quick and easy to use.

As a software developer, you may be called upon to perform some of these tasks in your career.

How well a CS degree prepares you for these tasks (and whether it even should prepare you for these) is left as an exercise to the reader.

@BioAlex @JamesSACorey What time zone are you in? I’m refreshing in MST hoping that midnight EST counts :)

@riskybusiness @hacks4pancakes I strongly agree re: Season 1 and 2, but I lost the plot in Season 3. Could be just me though.

@John_Capobianco I feel your pain. Today I tried every trick I knew to figure out why spanning tree wasn’t behaving as expected for 2 hours. Eventually we discovered that an SFP was bad, swapped it and all was well. Doh.

@John_Capobianco Congrats John, you deserve it!

@eiddor If you have a brownfield ISE deployment, is it possible to start adopting this workflow or does this work better if you start with a clean slate?

@DavidStaplesYEG The education minister makes it sound like we’re doing pretty well: “2018's [PISA] results place Alberta 3rd in the world in science, 3rd in reading and 8th in math. This is compared to 2nd in the world in science, 3rd in reading and 14th in math in 2015.” https://t.co/avklbA1TAJ
