What is this?

Not knowing regular expressions.. is like... worse than bring a Frontend dev.

@bagfox Can you please make your avatar

@bagfox 😂

@bagfox I disagree. Sometimes regular expressions are too much abstraction if your use cases are small. There's been a couple of times where I took almost an hour trying to figure out a regex before I realized I just needed a very limited number of possibilities.

But you should definitely learn regex.

@eo2875 If you need too long time to understand it, or the regex is too long, it’s a bad regex.

Regex‘s do not exist to put many replacement actions into one. E.g. every email regex is a bad email regex.

Regex is just a tool. A handy one but not strictly necessity. Most C programmers don't use it. (Tailored logic is faster and more compact, that usually matters when you need the controle C provides)

@devrant Need an oiption where I spends all my ++ to vote all for ONE post, once a year maybe. Thios one is it for me.

20 years in dev. NEVER used regEx.

even my cat can write regex, just put it on my keyboard
