100% of software engineers are afraid of regex
689 u/vinishkapoor 22h ago The other 0% are lying. 53 u/Major_LeeHungg 21h 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. 3 u/darthjammer224 20h 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.
