Reposted by Andy LapteffThe Art of Network Engineering @artofneteng.bsky.social · 20/09/2026After midnight, poolside, still grinding: contracts, conference logistics, code, App Store submissions, production upgrades, strategy. Scaling is hard. I need help. I can’t afford the team yet. So I keep building. AONE is on the launchpad. 2027 🚀 /Andy 📈 113

Andy Lapteff @andylapteff.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Five months ago I couldn't generate code, test, build, or deploy software to solve problems. Today I built/run rundreds of production scripts, cron jobs, CI tests, repos, commits, apps, and more. How? If you love solving problems but hate coding, this one is for you. youtu.be/dO8pH4PMW2U?...youtu.beVibeOps Lounge 004: Building Software Without a Dev Background with Andy LapteffYouTube video by John Capobianco 010

Andy Lapteff @andylapteff.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I like to think I’m good at making decisions. But yesterday I had an uncomfortable experience that made me look deeper into how I prioritize. This piece investogates focus, execution, opportunity cost, and the uncomfortable difference between pausing an idea and killing it. 010

Andy Lapteff @andylapteff.bsky.social · 11/06/2026🚨 New Blog Post ✍ "Here We Go Again" We spend years mastering a craft, and associate the work with who we are. New paradigms appear and threaten our identity. It feels unfair. We attach meaning to prior effort and cling to outdated beliefs. www.permitipandyandy.com/blog/here-we...permitipandyandy.comHere We Go Again — permit ip andy andyTonight at dinner, two worlds collided, and I had an insight.

Andy Lapteff @andylapteff.bsky.social · 22/05/2026I’m building my fifth app in as many months, and just wrapped a 6 hour coding session. Grabbed a quick bite and back to it, learning proper dev skills from @erika_thedev. Go check out her free coding content on YouTube, which is the most non-comp-sci friendly content available. Skill up 🚀 000
Andy Lapteff @andylapteff.bsky.social · 21/05/2026First trip to Europe since college,when I had zero electronics to charge. Now? Laptops. iPad. iPhone. AirPods. Camera batteries. Portable charger. USB-C everything. “Modern” travel requires thoughtful power management. Check out my mighty Schuko adapter. Auf geht’s. 🇩🇪⚡️ 000
Andy Lapteff @andylapteff.bsky.social · 05/05/2026The value you can add to your organization with an llm and MCP is enormous. These tools are free and you don’t need to learn how to code. 000

Andy Lapteff @andylapteff.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Tonight: install Ubuntu server on metal. Bad spinning HD swapped. SSD installed for OS. Fighting smart array. Fighting RAID. Created new RAID 6 array. Smart array won’t find SSD. Create logical drive for SSD. Installed Ubuntu, rebooted, GRUB pointing to invalid LVM. ~ sigh 050
Andy Lapteff @andylapteff.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Ok, you are all correct. DNS sucks. Been fighting with it all day. Not a fan. One star. Would not recommend. Truth be told, the main issue is me not understanding it well enough, so learning the ins and outs as I go. Trial by fire. 010

Andy Lapteff @andylapteff.bsky.social · 14/03/2026Engineers figure it out. We solve problems. We improvise. We make do with what’s available. Sometimes it means… Using a clothing iron as a precision water sprayer while restoring your headlights in the garage. Problem solved. Engineering mindset: Resourceful > perfect. 040
Andy Lapteff @andylapteff.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Most network engineering careers don’t stall because of technology. They stall because of the stories we tell ourselves. “I’m not ready.” “Automation isn’t for me.” Tonight I’m speaking about that at (PA)NUG in Philly. Details: nokia.ly/46O5S7Y 010
