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: youtube.com/playlist?list=…

I hate content creator politics and theatrics

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

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!

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

After not receiving a raise in the four years I’ve worked at BHIS they’ve now decided to reduce my pay by $40k after coming back from maternity leave and moving my role to solely pentesting. So I am looking for a new position effective immediately if anyone has any leads 😇

@Dayvee87 Wow

Terrible.

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! youtu.be/fW6QT3px-Vk?si…

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.

An older gentleman just walked by and said he loved seeing people studying... I didn't have the heart to tell him that I'm editing a meme graduation speech for social media

This week on the podcast we spend some time with @Erika_theDev to talk about life and career choices, and why she decided to set out on her own journey! Podcast: cables2clouds.com/2129055/episod… YT: youtu.be/y4406vXawss?si…

@juangolbez Looking into one myself atm but nope, usually do a mix of loose script and winging I

Any content creators out there using an over-monitor teleprompter or some other kind of solution? I usually wing it a bit but I'm working on something with more structure, I'd like to stick to more of a script with and not have it look like I'm just reading my screen if possible.
