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.
Children of the magenta line... 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
