I’m imagining as years go by when/if this AI regex code breaks - nobody knows how it works or how to fix it. Am I wrong?

I’m not a programmer and I write shitty code but I can manage to write simple regex to create quick and dirty code. That’s a terrible programming choice I know but I never share my code. It’s just for me and it works.

    I use regex because I don’t know what is a parser combinator library or how to acesss one. Why would i learn how to write a parser when I have a perfectly adequate, portable, thoroughly documented tool available?
