Hey, I did some OS/2 network driver for SNA over X.25 card using a PRI =D.

    But its all a question of workflow...  Fake busy work created by devices/apps battling for your attention ain't my cup of tea.

Hi,

I'm of the opposite view... front-end shiny GUI's are the risk. I'd
babysit them before I let them leave the house. For a long time.

Most of the more effective troubleshooting techniques will require some sort
of CLI or CLI-like output. In times of crisis, you'll want to be able to
type "show ip bgp summary", instead of waiting for your browser to send a 
javascript request to a server, the server to run a python script invoking
netmiko to log onto a node, grab the output, reformat it, have it sent back
to your browser and rendered.

Not to mention that, like pilots, network engineers need hands-on time to
stay effective. Planes have crashed because pilots lost it and relied on 
automation (Asiana 214, anyone?).

That said, as a soon-to-be-dinosaur, I try to keep up with the latest and 
greatest. I don't want to run the risk of becoming an ATM engineer.

Thanks,

Sabri
