 <p>Let’s begin with the NAF's negatively framed tagline and central question: <strong><em>"Why hasn't network automation seen full adoption yet?”</em></strong> which is an appropriately provocative query that doubtless resonates but feels out of kilter, to me. Mostly because I believe we are in the <strong>new golden era of networking</strong>, filled with the most exciting tools, systems, and platforms, and an unprecedented tolerance for experimentation and failure. It’s ironic that many of the vendors we moan about as automation obstacles have, in their oligopolistic malaise, opened the market for the very companies sponsoring these conferences, allowing them to thrive in spaces previously under the iron fist of the big hardware players. </p>
-<p>These conferences are for engineers rather than companies so its appropriate to interrogate that question with more regard to our professional fulfillment and joy as network tinkerers, as opposed to accrued business value as corporate stooges - ultimately crucial though that is! And from that perspective, as far as I can tell, <strong>everything is going great!</strong> But I’m a moron so don’t listen to me. </p>
