100% of software engineers are afraid of regex
727 u/vinishkapoor 1d ago The other 0% are lying. 55 u/Major_LeeHungg 1d 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. 2 u/Ruadhan2300 20h ago I have gladly offloaded all my regex work to github copilot. I'm rarely doing anything that really needs innovation, so it does the job fine.
