Speed tests don't troubleshoot Wi-Fi; Network Automation is digital transformation; FAQ on repatriating your Cloud; Cisco buys another company and jobs galore
This week we speak three languages 🏳️🌈; subnet in IPv6 without throwing up 🤮; debunk Tech Debt 💸; watch SSH get weaker ⛓ and check our salary expectations against the rest 🩲. Let’s dive in; ⬇️
NetEng 🔧
Subnetting in IPv6 because you can relive trauma from IPv4 in the new v6 world too 🤪
Three Essential Languages of the Modern Network Engineer that aren’t “crying”, “memes” or “Chinese” (big up Huawei CLI 🇨🇳, we feel you 版本)
Why speed tests aren’t always the answer when troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks because (latency + jitter) > bandwidth 🚇
How automation is driving network engineer skills transformation is a long white paper read from Cisco, but worth chucking under your CxO’s nose 🐽 as food for thought
Kill the CLI or at least make it consistent make-it-consistent, (big up Cisco, couldn’t stick to “show mac-address table” when you could “show mac address-table” too eh? 🤬)

The Big Cloud Exit FAQ on cloud repatriation and running your own baremetal 👙 again
SSH protects the world’s most sensitive networks. It just got a lot weaker in a cool-named attack called Novel Terrapin (no, not the Terraform 🍴 thing - that’s OpenTofu…)
Technical Debt is not real it’s just called “moment in time” ⏰ and shows progress linearly
