What's the Best Way to Structure Hostnames for Easy Management? or How Do You Handle Naming Conventio

I’ve been down this rabbit hole too! My go-to is `<location>-<role>-<number>`, like `chi-web-03` or `ams-db-01`.

But honestly, the *real* pro move is using a tool like NetBox to track everything. It keeps your hostnames sane and adds metadata like IPs, owners, etc.

Biggest mistake? Naming stuff after employees. John left, and now `johns-pc` is just awkward.
