@devioustree @siracusa "dismissing your career" is your interpretation of the dialog here. Nobody's career is being "dismissed", I created Stack Overflow and I have strong opinions about these kinds of things, because I feel strongly that knowing SQL and regex will help people. 🤷

@codinghorror
@devioustree @siracusa I strongly disagree and view basic regex and SQL understanding as compsci fundamentals. Can you take it too far? Well, yes you can take anything too far. Welcome to writing code.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@devioustree @siracusa sure, additional methods are fine, I think it's worth noting just how misguided the AppleScript mistakes were. And basic regex really isn't that difficult to understand; sort of like "I don't want to learn SQL, I will just use 5 layers of .Query.Order.Sort.Group"
