Yeah I strongly disagree. I want to spend time figuring the things that important to me and my career. I could care less about the one regex I write every year. Especially when I've learned and forgotten the syntax more times than I can count.

There's a funny quote about regex

"You had a problem. You tried to solve it with regex. Now you have two problems"

1) your original problem 2) your broken regex

I would like to propose an addition

"You had a problem. You tried to solve it with AI generated regex. Now you have three problems"

1) your original problem 2) your broken regex 3) your reliance on AI
