You almost certainly would feel different.
- sushshshsh 6y agoI find that I can solve most of my jira tasks in 10 mins with string.length and string.charAt() My estimated time to completion with regex is literally undefined
- Moru 6y agoThat's just unfamiljarity. Whatever works for you is good. Sometimes the hammer does work on the screw, you just have to use it right. Or we might end up with https://xkcd.com/927/ https://xkcd.com/927/
- sushshshsh 6y agoWe're all unfamiliar with assembly and electrical engineering too right, should we all invest the time to learn how to program bare metal? Only when the performance is needed, right?
- Moru 6y agoNo, you completely misunderstood and went off on a tangent. My comment means the exact opposite to what you understood.
- Joeboy 6y agoI've never used tools like that and I feel the same. Regexes provide a simple, well supported solution to a huge number of problems, and I'm not sure what the second problem is supposed to be. The quote is fun, and I've sometimes used variants of it, but I don't get why the target is regular expressions.
- Moru 6y agoThe second problem comes when the regex fails because of the edge cases you didn't think of shows up. :-)
