Regular expressions are one of the classic examples of hate and hate relationships. Yes, it’s not a typo; hate and hate. Do you know anyone who loves or knows how to write moderately complex regex?

Still, undeniably, regular expressions are useful and powerful.

In my recent article, I showed an example of using Regular Expressions to filter #EventStoreDB subscriptions by event types. That helps to more efficiently get notifications about new events.

@oskardudycz I am not ashamed to admit it,I am quite fond of regular expressions… Few things are more powerful.
@weltraumpirat yes, they're powerful and that's a double-edged sword 🙂
