    My experience has been that more complex cases it simply cannot manage. It’ll swear blind that it’s got it right and the result will be super specific to the example provided. If I knew what the strings would be exactly, in advance, I wouldn’t be writing regex 😂

      i’ve seen how ridiculously complicated and unreadable regex can get. i’ve never asked it to make a regex like that, i’ve only had it do simpler ones like “match every word boundary that starts with some character” or whatever

          well you’re supposed to use it do do things you don’t know how to do. that’s what i do. it’s just that there’s all kinds of shit i don’t know how to do that other people know how to do, and the agent is trained on all that, so it’s helpful (for me, at least)
