LPT: ChatGPT is incredible for generating and evaluating regex (programming.dev)

I have to use a ton of regex in my new job (plz save me), and I use ChatGPT for all of it. My job would be 10x harder if it wasn't for ChatGPT. It provides extremely detailed examples and warns you of situations where the regex may not perform as expected. Seriously, try it out.

Huh. That class looked hard as hell, I didn't take it, and now I'm 2 years out of school still googling regex every time I need it.

Maybe I should do some reading ๐Ÿ˜…

It was mandatory. I'm glad I took it, but I'm glad it's over ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Just look up how finite automatas work. You don't need to understand turing machines or turing completeness
