@Dorialexander @duckdb I love @DataPolars more as it's pythonic. But duckdb is fantastic too.

AI aside, @duckdb is probably the most magical piece of technology of recent years.

@danieldibswe The main reason I can recall is to avoid flooding and Mac moves. Then there are other things like avoiding blackholing when one of them loses connectivity to l3. It's been a while, and I'm not young enough to remember everything 🙂.

Here’s something to think about. Why didn’t we do anycast gateways in the past? Why did we use HSRP/VRRP? What is it that enables us to now run anycast?

@PeteCCDE @TracketPacer Yes, the enterprise version uses STP

@TracketPacer I _think_ SuzieQ can do this. suzieq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Yo, @ddcumulus can SuzieQ do L2 trace still?

@zaydenam @martin_casado This has been my evolving view as well

@martin_casado I don't see all app logic going to LLMs.. I think we'll end up defining some kind of abstraction for llms vs built on top like the difference between kernel space and user space..

One thing that's so unique about current use of LLMs is that application logic is being abdicated to them. I can't think of any other time this has happened. Normally infrastructure moderates resource usage, not logic and correctness.

@mitchellh Ask them to listen to John Lennon's Watching the Wheels 🙂

I talk to a disappointingly large amount of people that cannot comprehend that I can work on something for the joy of it and not any long term financial play.

@nickrusso42518 Yep, keeping things updated, maintenance is far more work than most realize. Kudos to you for doing this.

One of the hardest things about being a prolific publisher is keeping things not only technically updated, but accessible/functional. Deleted 10 old github repos (retired content/temporary placeholders), consolidated other ones, improved docs, fixed CI pipelines ... it's a lot.

@nickrusso42518 @beevek @pluralsight Hi @nickrusso42518, would it be useful to mention @SuzieqProject too?

Want to learn multi-vendor network automation? How about using NetBox as a source of truth? Or, perhaps integrating an on-prem network to the public cloud? Perhaps napalm, ssh pubkey authc, vault? My newest Ansible course at @pluralsight covers all of it! njrusmc.net/r/psansnet2

@Midnigh33068279 @nickrusso42518 Have you tried SuzieQ? Shameless self-plug

@nickrusso42518 I'm doing this, but it's not very scalable. I'm at the point now where I need the data stored and cached, rather than on demand. SNMP is okay, but I struggle with a few use cases such as pulling off mac tables.

I've been doing network automation for nearly 7 years, but one topic I skipped way textfsm. I regret that. Super easy to use. Got this template right on the second try (you need to be careful about newlnes)

@itdependsnet Submitted

@ddcumulus PRs welcome 😜.. in all seriousness, I do need to another pass at it, but never declined a PR that followed the rules.

The awesome-network-automation repo I created many years ago has passed 2000 stars on in last 2 days!!! Will continue to make sure this is the go to aggregation point for network automation information for years to come! github.com/networktocode/…

@itdependsnet Sure. We did provide one a while back. SuzieQ did exist in that list a while back (though miscategorized). Will issue again

@winterrose @martin_casado Isn't this their way of trying to counteract Nvidia/Mellanox?

@martin_casado as long as it give me more non-blocking network bandwidth I’ll take it.

🤔 oh no … here we go again …

@EmmaBWaldron I also recommend Francine Prose's Reading Like a Writer. Dissecting how excellent craftsmen do their work is also a great way to learn to write well.

what are the best books / resources on how to write?

BLOG: Multi vendor route observability with suzieq and tig stack. This was fun to create a demo telegraf plugin for SuzieQ to check routes within a environment and present them Grafana. The git repo can be found within the blog as well. danielhertzberg.net/posts/suzieq-m…

@ericchou @devnetdan This is another good writeup of the event. Ok, it does mention me 😀 gratuitous-arp.net/the-first-ever…

This is an excellent write up by @devnetdan for those of us didn't make it to the event. Thank you Danny! #network #automation

@martin_casado @EmileAndHisBots Excellent. Thank you for stating what you felt so openly. I find it so much easier to avoid misunderstanding this way.

@ddcumulus @EmileAndHisBots Good. Then I retract my comment. That sure sounded like a "you're not being intellectually honest and don't want to know the truth" But perhaps I'm overly sensitive :)

I can't overstate how many AI safety discussion reduce to general unease about software and the internet. And tech in general. AI has become the proxy battleground against all of tech.

@martin_casado @EmileAndHisBots Same here Martin.

@ddcumulus @EmileAndHisBots I promise I'm trying to be intellectually honest. And I also have no intention of questioning your intellectual honesty.

@martin_casado @EmileAndHisBots Insulting? I apologize if you perceived it that way. I have no intentions of.

@ddcumulus @EmileAndHisBots ... it's so strange to see you passive aggressive and insulting.
