Programmers Becoming Network Engineers? - Collab with SimpleProgrammer
About this video
A brief announcement video about a collaboration with the Simple Programmer channel. Chuck says he recorded a video for that channel, posted that day, in which he talks to an audience of aspiring programmers about why programmers should start looking at becoming network engineers, or at least learning networking. He notes he usually talks about the reverse direction — network engineers becoming programmers — but argues the vice versa is extremely valuable right now and that something ‘crazy’ could result if programmers learned networking. He asks his own viewers to go watch the collaboration video, engage with that community, leave comments representing networking, and help answer the programmers’ questions, since that audience does not yet understand networking.
