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 dont use regexs much because usually they’re overkill for what i need but when i do use them i tend to make them in one of those regex builder tools you mention, which is great, but then getting the regex that works in that tool working in my program is a battle against inscrutable local syntax and stuff silently failing.
