   Great experience in remote team project management

   Worked in a fully remote and geographically distributed team of 35 people with my previous employer. Managed about 50 marketing projects of different size simultaneously.

   I would recommend this app to any team that works mostly with marketing projects and needs different levels of client's and team members' access, it is also very convenient to store project info in threads and keep an eye on simultaneous processes and deadlines. Mobile app is cool.

   Before Teamwork I worked with eXo Platform, Trello, Basecamp, Worksection.

• Cisco switch backup/restore?

  A decade ago I worked for a shop that needed to routinely back up 100+ cisco switches and routers and refused to pay for solarwinds. I setup a light weight freebsd vm to run this open source software: https://shrubbery.net/rancid/ (Rancid: Really Awesome New Cisco config Differ) and set it to scrape all the equipment every 12 errors.

• Version control for network configs

  Anyways Rancid does support cvs, svn, and git. Though I have only used it with cvs. Basically what it does, is checks out the configuration, downloads the configuration with other information about the state of the device, commits the configurations(which only changed ones will be in the latest check-ins, and then it can send an email of the changes.

• Management Software for Cisco Devices?

  RANCID - Really Awesome New Cisco confIg Differ monitors a router's (or more generally a device's) configuration, including software and hardware (cards, serial numbers, etc) and uses CVS (Concurrent Version System), Subversion or Git to maintain history of changes. Source: almost 2 years ago

• What all are you doing with Ansible?

  If you want to use this as an opportunity to learn Ansible, or you don't want to add another tool to the stack, this is a fine use case. Otherwise, I would consider using either RANCID or Oxidized for configuration backup. Source: about 2 years ago

• Starting with python at 30

  Before I knew about RANCiD (https://shrubbery.net/rancid), I wrote my own Perl application to telnet into a Foundry Networks switch and TFTP its configuration to my computer so I could back it up. At a future employer, I rewrote another coworkers Perl application that collected SNMP values from devices and did stuff with it (forget what all I did then). Source: about 2 years ago

• Is cross-platform the future of mobile development

  AirBnb wrote an article about why they moved away from RN, udacity wrote a post saying that it was the same for them, Netflix said they tested it early on but couldn't preform so they went native, teamwork.com re-wrote everything in native, notion started cross platform and is now going native, facebooks own messenger team refused to use RN for their re-write as they couldn't get the performance.

• PM / Project Tracker for small teams with project template option

  I have spent (wasted...) way to many hours on finding a good solution for my team. The problem is I really love teamwork.com, it has the ability to sort "My tasks", and other views which are awesome. Most of our projects follow the same "path", so we need to make a documentation, send a quotation, write tasks for developers etc. that's why I would need a project template option, so I only have to write this one...

• Suggestions for CRM apps with offline access

  Most products, including teamwork.com as far as I can see, have gone all SaaS, because subscription models are lucrative, whereas I'm looking for something that's available offline and backed up locally. Source: over 1 year ago

• Project management tool?

  Not 100% clear on the sequential or unique job IDs. But we recently switched to Teamwork and it's been pretty great. It looks like my projects, jobs and tasks all have unique IDs in the URL. It has a nice Gantt chart, subtasks on jobs, handles timesheets, invoices and overall pretty damn flexible. Source: about 2 years ago
