I’ve been focused heavily on network automation and hardware during my last 5 years working at eBay & Celestica so I wanted to get back to my networking roots and dig into a protocol that I don’t have much experience with.

I’ve been using Claude since Feb and found this cheatsheet that’s pretty great. https://cc.storyfox.cz Postmortem of recent Claude Code performance issues is a very interesting read if you’ve been following or bumping into the issues many have been report…

In my last blog I wrote about building ZTP configurations for SONiC switches using the data in NetBox.

When I was hired at eBay one of the first tasks I was given was to find an easy way to swap switches within a rack to help facilitate testing of various SONiC platforms.

When I started working with the hardware team at eBay I was shocked to learn that they were tracking ALL of their assets with Wiki and spreadsheets.

I was hired onto the Hardware Platform Engineering team at eBay just as they started getting ready to deploy their next-gen 400G network that was using SONiC, an open source network operating system.

The Network team took our traffic generator so we needed to build our own using (4) servers with (8) 100G NIC’s.

DNS over TLS is a big step in fixing a badly designed protocol, at least in terms of privacy, but it still leaves you having to trust the endpoint with all of that data that you are trying to keep private.

Today I found a great article on hacker news with regards to Object Oriented Programming.

I updated my 2009 macbook pro this weekend from 10.11 (last supported OS) to 10.15.
