Run WiFi Access Points in your laptop
Cisco Modeling Labs 2.10 integrates Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable generative AI to autonomously construct network topologies from natural language prompts. In a live demonstration, the system generated a three-router eBGP lab using IOL images and automatically configured IP addressing without explicit user instruction. The platform now supports wireless fabric simulation that dynamically adjusts signal strength based on virtual client positioning and offers direct packet capture streaming to Wireshark. This update allows network engineers to bypass manual lab assembly by translating English requests into Python API calls that execute the full topology and convergence logic.
The Software Engineer Hiring Process Is Completely Broken in 2026
The software engineering hiring process remains misaligned with modern workflows where AI tools enable developers to generate thousands of lines of code daily while human roles shift toward code review and workflow orchestration. Despite this productivity shift, companies continue relying on outdated LeetCode-style whiteboard interviews and excessive multi-round selection processes that fail to assess actual job performance. This disconnect forces entry-level engineers to waste time mastering artificial interview games rather than adapting to the AI-driven realities of their future careers. The current system prioritizes algorithmic trivia over the practical skills required to operate effectively in today's development environment.
