Listen "Study Streams and Space Dreams with Lexie Cooper"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textBlue 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 matterHow/where to catch a Florida launch (scrubs happen)Learning in public: textbooks on stream, tension on mic, real takeawaysPHY vs. ASIC, MAC sublayers, and auto-neg gotchas (with an oscilloscope!)Home labs: why “spaghetti” > showroom racks for actual learningCareers: automation pressure, Git for config history, staying authenticStreaming nuts & bolts: TikTok vs. Twitch vs. YouTube, OBS scenes 101Women in networking and inviting more people into the fieldThis episode has been sponsored by Meter.
