Approaching 1 year in IT in August. This time last year I was a beer delivery driver. So helpful to hear these kinds of stories from early career for those of us mapping our path. Thanks fellas!

this is a very nice episode. I dont understand why especially network engineers dont have patience to answer simple questions, when we start troubleshooting i ask a lot of questions and my team usually get bored but i always ends up finding the solution to issue at hand.

i love this this is great try to leve my Mcdonald job for tech lol Mcdonald with a ccna and other stuff I can male snand and fix the network

Can we get a link for the app please 🙏 🙂

The problem with articles etc buzz words does match job postings.. theres a direct path from 0 to network engineer and the certs are relavant..anybody going from 0 to cloud doesnt really have a path. But 0 to jr sys admin/net engineer where you get cloud experience will lead to cloud. I cant imagine data centers and service providers no lomger needing network engineers. I think everyone will be system admin/engineer with a specialty networking/ programming/ server admin etc. Besides service provider and data center which keeps growing

love the mildly autistic and awkward geeky conversations

200GBPS for Outof band network ?! I never thought of that.. I was wondering may be it is 2GBPS for management network

Some questions/ comments: 1) For the first time, i see Tim and Andy's expressions were like, everything is flying over their head 😄 (no offence at all, same was the case with me) 2) Definitely more such episodes please ! 3) Can we consider IoT and OT to be similar ? 4) Could "StuxNet" have been possible, if OT wasnt integrated with IT ?

"Boring Tech Podcast" 😂😂 PERFECT way to find the channel! LOL

Definitely, gonna start hopping on Thursdays!

I officially started my Journey to CCIE

One tip is to manage energy instead of managing time. There are certain times of the day that are better suited for deeper focus and that time is different for everyone.

You guys are really awesome, keep up the great work. People eventually will find your content.

Real housewives of AONE!

Thanks for the vid

We lost a great one..☹

GiggleBits?!?

AI = Alcoholic Inspiration. I have heard the What, So What, Now What but in the context of resume reviews from CyberInsecurity. Always look forward to new episode Wednesdays.

My imposter syndrome faded away when I was working with a double CCIE that we brought in to help with a case and I heard him say; "I don't know, but we'll figure it out together." Every ounce of imposter syndrome I had faded away then. We're all doing the best we can, no matter our level of expertise.

I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. My criticism and suggestions below: 1. It would have made more sense to plan/script some of these conversations (e.g. the example of what a flop/exflop was pointless. Even saying: ("Add 1.5 + 1.5", that's a FLOP, if everyone on Earth does the calculation at the same time, that's a 8 Gigaflops, now if we had 125,000,000 Planet Earths doing a calculation per second, this would be the same power.) 2. Really didn't talk much about the Network, very wishwashy/high level. A 5-minute whiteboard session could have added more detail. Seems there was another Team who managed the HPC Fabric vs. the "Classic Network" that could have been consulted. Really not much detail, most of this detail had to be sighted from the b-roll. 3. Asking the applications used on the HPC would have been better asked to a user/scientist 4. Could have included a tour of the operations centre/NOC and other areas (HVAC, Power) would have been interesting. These are all supporting areas which are interesting 5. This could have been 10 minutes long 6. The guest mentions early in the video it's 200 Gbps Ethernet, yet the question is asked again in the video

Beautiful video

This is just the perfect time to listen to her.

Great episode! Alexis has shown a much needed light on the SE role that honestly was very needed. SE's are not your sales rep, they are your guides and many times end up keeping the sales reps in check. Her path is next level, and seeing this amongst us NOC geeks that usually shun anything with sales opens up the mind.

I can remember back in 2015 when I worked desktop support for a Connecticut university. I was new to the field, but passionate for the job. The Director of IT Infrastructure, Jesse Lunt, really took me under his wing. He allowed me to help him in the data center, I was taught to punch down cables into patch panels, how to install APs in the school's ceilings, how to configure the switches, routers and firewalls. Even after he left the school and moved on, we remain friends to this very day. He put together a Zoom class to teach me and some other friends the ins and outs of Azure. I can never repay that man for his kindness and friendship.

An awesome talent. Will be sorely missed by our industry and in particular the Cisco learning/certification community.

Not impressed. It was outdated as soon as it was deployed.

Gone too soon Nick 😢

Rest in peace Nick

Nick is missed.

R.I.P Nick, one of Network Engineering true legends.

Its very sad to hear about the passing of Nick... He was an asset to the community😢

Just got here after nick passed away. May he rest in peace.

RIP Nick.

I think it was your fault.

Who is here after Nick passed away 😢?

53:15 USNA? Nugget? Sorry can you explain this I couldn't understand the acronym and google returns nothing!

17:18 What is the difference between a SE and a TME?

FPGAs for Dummies by Altera is a good book.

Keith is such a gift to this community

You talk like a child!

Thanks guys, always appreciate the content.

Long story but relative point. Some years ago a team and I built an electronics device for a doctoral candidate student at a nearby medical research hospital. While building the device we met with this doctoral candidate several times for check-ins and progress and what not. He always wanted to meet at abnormal times like 7 am or 3:30 pm "because he had to sleep." So after a few meetings we met him and asked about the strange sleep times. He explained to us that a neuroscientist explained to him that sleeping within 4 hours of learning helps retain information. This doctoral candidate started sleeping for 2 hours 3 times a day. He would sleep from about 4 am to 6 am then study and research for the morning. He would sleep from about noon to 2 pm then more study and research (we usually met in this afternoon window). Then sleep from 8 pm to about 10 pm and then study and precook meals and prep for the next day. I was blown away! He did explain some about REM cycles, but I don't entirely recall that explanation.Naturally, I asked about weekends. He does the same thing all week and has been doing it for over a year. More blown away! He said it was so effective that he convinced nearly a dozen other doctoral candidates to get with the program and he said they all loved it. Not sure how sustainable that is, but I was fascinated by the explanation. There are some smart people out there that believe sleep helps retain information so well they live like that for an extended period of time.

Fascinating... still don't understand much of what that "time machine" is all about, but fascinating nevertheless... even though I think a DMC DeLorean properly retrofitted for time travel offers a bit more practicality and excitement in terms of time travelling!! Haha

This guy doesn’t seem like he’s ever seen the inside of a data center before what embarrassingly basic questions that didn’t even get to what’s special about their setup or capability.

I would hate to see their electric bill.

The guy in light blue needs a trimmer wardrobe.

Quantum computers are exponentially faster.

Horrible soundtrack!

I am in Security now but I really miss being a network engineer. Thank you for sharing on this platform.
