you hit the nail in the head. Companies like Cisco only thrive on acquisitions, there has not been a single decent product launched from within.

Thanks! I also always felt like I was being ripped off by other companies too. The cost severely outweighed the value I received. With Zoom, I pay a lot for Zoom rooms but they are magical. Normal user accounts are affordable and they work. All in, I feel like I pay for the value I’m receiving and it feels like an equitable deal.

Ps. I swear this isn’t a Zoom ad. It’s like the cops - if I say it this has to be true?! That’s how this works, right?

Or the FTC comes like a bag of bricks.
I think Cisco has done some pretty cool stuff on the networking and hardware side of things.

I write software for IOS-XR, an in-house, service provider-oriented OS. More specifically, my team works on the ASR9K series of routers.
