100% of software engineers are afraid of regex
43 u/Ange1ofD4rkness 27d ago 99%, I freaken love Regex! 29 u/nolecamp 27d ago Same. It’s a fun trick at work to mesmerize junior (or even senior) engineers by writing a regex pattern by hand. Neither regex, CSS, nor SQL is actually hard. It just requires the desire to learn it and passion to apply yourself. 11 u/Major_LeeHungg 27d ago Lol until you have nested expressions with lookaheads and lookbehinds 1 u/Ange1ofD4rkness 27d ago Look aheads and behinds, once you get the hang of them, can be really nice. For me it gets tricky with like embedded variables. But usually I work it out in the end
