    You can’t fix IOS, Cisco. All that god awful patch work is technical debt that can never be saved. RIP

    There’s no way one person can understand all the things that all the code at Cisco does even at a high level.

      The CEO thinks this guy can optimize it all without understanding. Bon chance.

        I don’t think even unlimited tokens are going to work with “rewrite this code” when the clanker literally has no idea what it does.

        His prior experience was startup for a translation app. He’s got no idea how packet switching works. Never mind the zillions of other things Cisco does

    So the other 2% are all the hardcoded admin credentials I suppose.
