Hedge 317: AI Tools and Coding
41:26
D
9:30Donald SharpGUEST
I think the other part, well, I think the other part of the equation is that as a software developer, my job is changing with LMS.
D
9:50Donald SharpGUEST
LLMs are a fire hose of information that I cannot keep up with, especially when you have the person who is partial, I would say partial, someone who has enough knowledge about networking to understand what they want and realize that the code doesn't do it.
D
10:15Donald SharpGUEST
And because of that, you know, I am the one of the gatekeepers, Russ is a gatekeeper in the community and our job is swiftly changed into being full-time gatekeepers instead of programming with some gatekeeping on the side.

Russ WhiteHOST
There have been like, oh, if I send a BGP packet with the fourth bit from the right set on a Tuesday, when the BGP update, when the BGP peering session is in this state, I can cause it to crash.

But once he got out here by the Ozone, he went through the woods all the way and waded across the river.
Who Killed Roxanne: Roxanne's Family and the Ozone
C
25:36Charles DowdyHOST
So as you, uh, reflect on your role in this podcast and you think about, uh, what you know as a former law enforcement officer, how do you feel about things right now when it comes to Roxanne's case?
D
25:50Donald SharpGUEST
I have a good feeling about the Roxanne case at this point after the podcast because of all the, uh, information that has been received.
D
25:58Donald SharpGUEST
Although we could use a little more, I think it's gonna help this case move along and I, I think we'll get an indictment and we'll go from there.
D
26:23Donald SharpGUEST
Uh, and to be perfectly honest with you, Kim, I don't think that could happen.
D
26:26Donald SharpGUEST
But I, I, um, Henry Lee Lucas messed up a lot of cases for a lot of law enforcement agencies that will go unsolved because of him and two.
D
26:37Donald SharpGUEST
But this is one right here that, uh, the state police, Stephan Montgomery picked up and, and is making a good run on it.
Who Killed Roxanne: A Killer She Knew
C
17:32Charles DowdyHOST
If somebody asked you to describe Willie, like what he was like, who he was, how would you do that?
D
17:41Donald SharpGUEST
As far as, um, in his younger days, when I first met Willie, he tried to be, uh, like a normal teenager and fit in, but he couldn't really.
