Can't share networking stories, because am software engineer, but well, that's where my personal horror story begins.

Did an apprenticeship, but the school didn't have enough software engineers to form a class, so we got thrown into a class of networking folks. With mostly a networking curriculum. That would be bad enough, but jeez, having to sit through all the Sponsored By Cisco™ segments gets old really quick.

I may want to have a passing understanding what VLANs are, but I don't need to know how to manage them, how to route between them etc.. And I especially do not need to know the precise commands on Cisco fucking IOS™.
