LPT: ChatGPT is incredible for generating and evaluating regex (programming.dev)

I have to use a ton of regex in my new job (plz save me), and I use ChatGPT for all of it. My job would be 10x harder if it wasn't for ChatGPT. It provides extremely detailed examples and warns you of situations where the regex may not perform as expected. Seriously, try it out.

I'm not sure if it's still the case, but asking it to review what it just wrote for errors has led to significant quality improvements previously.
