Blue Origin’s Lexie Cooper is back! We riff on New Glenn’s first launch and what “vehicle #2” means for launch cadence, where to watch from Florida without getting arrested, and why streaming your learning, even when it’s awkward, is a cheat code for growth.
Andy shares his live Python study saga (and a friendly dust-up with Jeff about “just code it”), while Lexie takes us down to Layer 1: PHYs, link pulses, why “turning off auto-negotiation” isn’t always what you think, and why messy home labs beat pretty cable porn.
We also get real about authenticity at vendors, the pressure to be “polished,” and whether networking is still a great career in an automation-heavy market.
If you need a nudge to build, break, and learn in public, this one’s it.
In this episode:
New Glenn’s growing fleet & why multiple boosters matter
How/where to catch a Florida launch (scrubs happen)
Learning in public: textbooks on stream, tension on mic, real takeaways
PHY vs. ASIC, MAC sublayers, and auto-neg gotchas (with an oscilloscope!)
Home labs: why “spaghetti” > showroom racks for actual learning
Careers: automation pressure, Git for config history, staying authentic
Streaming nuts & bolts: TikTok vs. Twitch vs. YouTube, OBS scenes 101
Women in networking and inviting more people into the field

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
