Change freezes aren’t a stability strategy. "Our networks are too brittle to touch," is failure disguised as safety. My latest article in @DCDNEWS asks the question we avoid too often: "What should safe, resilient network operations look like?".
Data centers power our digital world but face outages from human error and outdated tools. Nokia’s @AndyLapteff shares key lessons on @DatacenterDynamics to help operators shift from reactive fixes to proactive, reliable operations:

To succeed in network engineering in 2025 and beyond, go broad.
Network engineers: remember when routing, switching, VLANs, LANs, and WANs were "all you needed to know?" Then came firewalls, IDS/IPS, and cloud. The skillset just keeps getting broader! #Networking #CloudComputing

“You can’t get to expert until you begin, so just start.”.
Perfection is the enemy of progress. Even the best had a starting point. The secret? "You just have to start." Embrace the learning curve, and the rest will follow. #motivation #GrowthMindset

“If you don’t have experience, go make it.”.
No experience? No problem. Showing the ability to teach or learn something new can be a major advantage. "Go create content," even if it's just watching someone learn. #CareerTips #Engineering

Each new AI‑driven outage makes one thing obvious: AI isn’t “set it and forget it.” Just like any automation, it demands human oversight, guardrails, and real checks and balances, especially when failure means taking entire systems offline.

When I started creating content, I didn’t realize I was building more than blogs, videos, and podcasts; I was building access to conversations I never would’ve been invited into. Access to rooms where decisions were being made. Access to people I used to look up to from afar.
Want to break into a new field? Sometimes, it's about getting into the right "rooms" — even if it's just listening in & learning from afar. Find your community! #Networking #CareerTips #CommunityBuilding

Have you torn ESXi out of your homelab yet? I did, and replaced it with Proxmox. Here's a video I made at work that walks you through the Proxmox install process:.

I’ve led data center migrations, survived product launches, and been in the room for outages that made headlines. None of that prepared me for working upside down in a cabinet the size of a coffin, blindfolded by pipes, praying I don’t drop the only wrench that fits. IYKYK.

I could talk to @TracketPacer endlessly about rocket networking 🚀.
Weight vs. resilience in autonomous systems: "Nobody says you can't put that many switches in the data center rack. [but] it's too heavy in a rocket." Design considerations when space is limited. #Engineering #Engineering

You know you’re in a fun city when they have weed trash cans at the airport. How much weed used to get thrown in the trash for them to need dedicated weed trash cans? 😂
