    I think the longest Regex I've ever written is like... 50 characters. Even that was enough for me to throw stuff, quit, and go outside to shoot hoops instead.

    Regex... If I succeed with a 5 char regex I'm already happy!

    People are suprsied about how high sucidal statistics are, but I would try to mill myself too if I should maintain my code with such a puece of an art like 150 characters long regex 😂

    ... hopefully you did the poor fella that has told debug that thing a favor, and split it up with comments..

    Heck, I've extracted string builder classes for complicated regexes..
    And SQL queries..

    @santartine noone does. You just punch the keyboard untill you get desired output, its like machine learning, just less cool.

    Edit: this comment looks cool, let me make a separate rant from it 😂

    @santartine it's super useful for writing interpreters and compilers (which is 80% of my off-time since I'm developing my own language at the moment). I love them and hate them.

    Django got rid of writing sql.
    Django 2.0 got rid of regex.

    Get with the times...😜
