You know what LLMs are hilariously bad at?

Writing regex.

@ra6bit It's ok, most humans are bad at that too.

Oh wait...

@ra6bit I may not be great at writing regex, but at least I know what tools I need to do it right! And to test it.

@ra6bit Honestly though, this has been one of my central use cases. I should be good at regex, but it's one of the things I dont need often enough to care learning (feel free to stab at that).

Now, I may not be smart enough to fluidly write Regex, but I *am* smart enough to at least test them before application, so... 😏
