Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NAN115: Simplifying Network Automation with Wingpy
Q: How should someone get started with Wingpy?
Wingpy is open source and installable via pip install wingpy (or uvpip in the newer method). The codebase is maintained internally with CI/CD and lab testing, and comprehensive documentation with examples makes it straightforward to begin using Wingpy for Cisco-related automation.
NAN115: Simplifying Network Automation with Wingpy
Q: Wingpy is a brand-new project—what was the motivation behind creating it?
The need to interact with multiple Cisco APIs through a unified, easy-to-use layer motivated Wingpy. It abstracts away platform-specific quirks like authentication, rate limiting, and pagination, so engineers can focus on building workflows rather than wrestling with each API separately.
NAN112: Inside the CU Boulder Network Engineering Master’s Program
Q: What would you tell your younger self before entering this field, knowing what you know now?
Don't worry about how people think about your knowledge; focus on your growth and fundamentals.
NAN112: Inside the CU Boulder Network Engineering Master’s Program
Q: What technology is most exciting to you right now in network engineering?
AI and MCP servers are driving the future of network engineering towards software and data-driven roles.
NAN112: Inside the CU Boulder Network Engineering Master’s Program
Q: What advice do you have for people wanting to start in networking?
Ask questions boldly and don't fear dumb questions; that's how you grow.
