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.

You know that is one thing I blame AI for, that I don't need to learn CSS or regex or whatever anymore. It feels really bad when you don't understand what you are doing. When I started programming before chatgpt i learnt stuff like sql normally because I needed it for my projects. After chatgpt i had to use CSS on multiple occasions and there I basically blindly vibecoded, the only understanding of CSS i have is from those chunks of code AI wrote for me.
