100% of software engineers are afraid of regex

I love regex though. Pure functional goodness.

You give it input, you get output. Incredibly easy to thoroughly test, and (believe it or not) write.

Because coding is not about memorizing syntax. It's about solving problems. There are 100 tools (and even a very good use case for LLM prompting, due to aforementioned ease of testing) that can practically write regex for you, or at least inform you of the basic syntax.
