Makefiles: underrated for non-build workflows.
make install → uv sync
make test → pytest + lint
make deploy → ansible
Same commands locally + CI/CD. Simple, printable, debuggable (1976 Unix ethos). Boring tech that works. 💪

Python environment management solved: uv
One tool replaces pip, venv, pyenv, poetry. 10-100x faster.
uvx runs tools without installing - from PyPI or GitHub.
⚠️ Verify sources, it's code from the internet.

Debugging tip: git blame + git show is an underrated combo
git blame → see which commit changed each line
git show → read the commit message and full diff
Only works if commits have context. "Fixed bug" = useless
"Increase timeout for slow WAN links" = gold

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.

Network automation tip: RESTCONF for structured device data.
Skip the CLI text parsing. Query Cisco devices via HTTP, get JSON back. Works consistently across IOS-XE/XR/NX-OS.

CLI efficiency tip: The `-` character is a "previous location" shortcut in bash and git.
cd - (returns to previous dir)
git checkout - (previous branch)
Simple pattern that saves countless keystrokes in toggle-heavy workflows.

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.
