ICYMI: Is The CCNA Still Worth it in 2026?

Happy Tuesday!

I'm working on an article about Going Analog. If you've gone analog, transitioned to single use devices etc - can you please share how it's impacted your mental health? Thanks!

Network Engineering isn’t dead—it’s the backbone of everything we do. In my latest post, I break down why the CCNA is still worth it and share free resources to help you get certified. Link: deirradecoded.com/home/is-the-...

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Stares into her coffee, hoping it will have the answers.

Happy #LockInSzn! Here’s my Personal Curriculum. (Not pictured Data & AI e-Books.) I used Claude to create a college style syllabus for these (excluding The Artist Way) complete with discussion questions that will test my knowledge and also serve as content. 🩵✌🏾

Hi.

Any Palo Alto peeps on the TL? Have a Global Protect Certificate question.

I’m in the market for a new non-Keurig/ non pod based coffee maker. Please reply with recommendations. I already have an espresso machine, so I’m just looking for a plain regular coffee maker.

Sooooo tonight I decided to try my hand at making Chili. I followed a pretty simple recipe and some advice from friends on how to prepare it. I wasn’t really sure about it in the beginning, but it turned out really well! My little food critic enjoyed it & asked for seconds. That’s a win in my book!

Happy New Year Friends!

Over hauling my wardrobe. Please recommend your favorite Instagram girlies who be having that shit on.

In 2025, I plan to focus my energy on meaningful pursuits and consciously disregard those who add no value, whether they occupy public spaces or cross my path in daily life. Fortunately, the guardrails I’ve established ensure that such encounters remain few and far between.

Not y’all calling drama on the TL “turbulence” 😂😂😂😂😂

I so deeply miss having conversations focused on literary analysis. 😭

Re: Man at the Garden Is the Garden Gethsemane? #KendrickLamar #GNX

it’s a little funny to watch people fret over whether social media will broaden their horizons or not because the things we’ve always had to broaden our horizons still exist. they’re called: books

“Tell me why you think you deserve the greatest of all time, MOTHERFUCKER” 😂😭

Your purpose on earth is not to argue with people who intentionally want to misunderstand you

“Everything is a slight & Imma make sure I shoot back" Kendrick just like me fr 😂🤣
