YouTube AMA - Hardest Topic in the CCIE Lab, How to study SDA and Automation in the CCIE lab. 

Discord is definitely the way to go.

Yess, Automation is a complete waste of time for network engineers, Preach!!!

Thanks!

- We hope you’d answer the older unanswered questions.

- Oh, so how were you able to write these scripts? Did you start learning when you had that project? Or did someone else write the script?

- Where did you learn Postman from?

{Q-Bert} automation. When automation breaks, you need a real network engineer to understand what broke and fix the network.

- What made you learn Postman?

Thanks for calling out the automation BS Rob. Feel like I'm going crazy/living in some kind of weird conspiracy the past few years the way people are pushing it. While cool and interesting it doesn't translate over to networking well where you can potentially destroy the very transport the automation source is using to program things. Time is much better spent learning network design, protocols and services rather than programming in this job, 99% of customers have no business using it.
