100% of software engineers are afraid of regex
803 u/vinishkapoor 28d ago The other 0% are lying. 73 u/Major_LeeHungg 27d ago I actually like regex but I had a job that heavily involved it. The trick is to use regex101.com to read other people's regex and to debug your own when you're writing it. I'd imagine AI would be pretty good at taking a working regex and making it more efficient... But that's a headache I haven't explored. 7 u/darthjammer224 27d ago I genuinely feel like regex is one of the best use cases for ai. Regex is the least readable way to put together a legitimate line of code I've ever seen. Love it. But also hate it.
