that is me with regex that I wrote from scratch like 5 mins ago
“Finally! It works! I’ll never touch it again! I’ll just move it in a variable and–… WHYYYY???!?!11!”
Its always the backslash before the forward slash. Every. Time.
That's why I like to include a comment with a link to an example on regex101.com.
This is so smart. I'm stealing this.
Commenting regex fucking sucks. There's really no good approach.
