And I'm being downvoted for that? Seriously? In 13 years of networking I have never once had to reload machine to help with OSPF or BGP convergence. Good networking architecture and planning should mitigate anything other than a couple of minute outage. No routing change should ever require a reload of a server or end node.
- cpayne 12y agoI believe you were down voted not for what you said, but the way you have said it. I've been down voted several times for (what I see) as relatively minor remarks. The HN readers are a sensitive bunch...
- stephengillie 12y agoThose who are still posting on HN are orders of magnitude more sensitive than those who post on Imgur. The communities are similar-size, yet Imguraffes are much, much more accepting of my comments. What merits a handful of upvotes there brings a downvote or two on this site.
- stephengillie 12y agoYou're assuming my management has been paying for good networking architecture for the past dozen years.
- tommu 12y agoI believe it. Networking is seen as a commodity now. It's transparent until it fails. There's a whole lot of technical debt lurking out there. I personally have seen the dark shadow of spanning tree suck the light out of DevOp engineers eyes.
