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

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.

I’ve tried it and found it wanting at regex and excel formulas, but I’m glad to hear it’s working for you! Are you using 4? I haven’t tried that one and I hear it’s better.

You can improve the reliability if you provide it test cases. You can now be the PM you wish you had for the robot that will eventually replace you.
