The Hedge

About this episode

Richard Wexelblat published an article in 1980 titled: "The consequences of one's first programming language." We've all seen C code written like Python, or Python code written like C, so it's obvious a coder's first language has a long lasting effect on their style. What about network engineers?

In this roundtable, Tom, Eyvonne, and Russ consider different ways this might apply to network engineering.
