Show Notes

In the second half of this crossover between Hands On IT and Automate IT, hosts Landon Miles and Jeremy Maldonado shift from defining IT problems to actually building, testing, and refining solutions. They dig into choosing the right tools without getting lost in endless options, the value of learning from APIs and documentation, and why “don’t reinvent the wheel” is a mantra every IT pro should adopt.

Along the way, they share real-world stories about discovering hidden libraries, avoiding common pitfalls, and leaning on version control to save projects from chaos. From Python and Bash basics to Git, Postman, and even the “bus test” for documentation, this episode is packed with practical lessons to help you turn automations into lasting, maintainable solutions.

Whether you’re just starting your automation journey or looking to optimize and scale what you’ve already built, you’ll find insights, strategies, and inspiration to take your IT problem-solving further.
