Devtip for game polish: calculate exactly how many fps a beat or bar takes in your game's soundtrack, now EVERY single timing in your game (tween length, fade length, gui buildup,...) should be a multiple of this

A great #devtip for being respectful and mindful about your colleagues time is to first create WIP/Draft PR and ensure CI succeds before you say it's ready/published for review.
Just takes a few extra seconds to you, saves minutes and unnecessary context switching for peers.

❌ Understanding plain charts can take time
✅ Make charts easier by mapping related values
24 different values → 5 semantic groups
= way more readable charts each time you look at them!

*Idempotency*
Idempotency = 1 call or 100 calls, same result. 🔄
It's what stops a failed payment retry from becoming a double charge. 💳🚫
Vital for robust APIs. Build for retries, not just the happy path. 🛠️✅

Before asking for help, create a failing test that reproduces the problem. It shows you understand the problem, it's reproducible, and helps iterate to a solution faster.

CLI-over-API varies by Cisco platform:
• IOS-XE: CLI RPC (config commands, works over NETCONF/RESTCONF/gRPC)
• NX-OS: NX-API CLI (show + config, JSON output)
• IOS-XR: gNMI with ASCII encoding
Different transports, same idea.

Instead of `data['key']` which raises a `KeyError`, use `data.get('key', 'default_value')`. This makes parsing varied JSON/YAML from network devices much more robust.

Stop hard-coding your browser automation selectors. If you’re using Playwright or Puppeteer, switch to `data-testid` attributes. It decouples your tests from CSS/DOM structure, so your flows don’t break every time you tweak the UI. #Automation #DevTip
