completely agree unless you are trying to punish yourself with silly little coding challenges 😭

`s/ not / /`

But when you do, write an html parser with it. gist.github.com/Munawwar/8c4...

except sundays

You can make them not fickle but I agree crazy regexes with cryptic stuff and lookahead/behind should be banned. A lot of programming languages do not allow them anyway with their standard implementation. And you dont need regex for basic string matching.

(I have no idea if it's O(2^n) don't quote me on this (they don't know either though (probably))

right, i mean maybe i was working with regex when i made the post and was expressing my current frustration, but i'm sure your assumption was good too.

That’s a follow lol

Depending on what you’re doing there’s probably a much better simple or complicated solution in the age of NLP

But they so simple, what could go wrong? ^(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?([a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,})(?:\/[^\s]*)?(?:\?([a-zA-Z0-9_]+=[^&]*&?)*)?(?:#([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+))?$

Quickest LGTM mr requests. I’ve seen complex regex bring down the system a few times

You monster.

we had this one DBA who was in charge of the stored procedures. some of them were over 5k lines long.

Every Jira ticket today will be done in regex and there’s not a thing u can do to stop me
