If AI kills a bunch of tech jobs, Best Buy parking lots might look like Home Depot parking lots someday.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique

A bunch of young white guys standing out front offering cheap IT services?
"I need 3 guys to help install a router."
The router is a Juniper MX960
That thing looks like a module for a spacecraft. :O
It might as well be if it weren't for the weight lol
I like working in those. JunOS seems to give the most helpful error messages compared to Cisco IOS or Nokia SR OS.
I used to cable them up or swap out PICs, never got a chance to try JunOS though.
Gotcha - we’re on opposite sides of the backplane, so to speak. I’m in the opposite position - I’m an IP tech and frequently coordinate with field techs to migrate our customers’ circuits between service routers, and I’ve never actually seen one of these in person.
Do people do that ar Home Depot?
