That said, drawing the ire of people on Hacker News is extremely easy, and I do that periodically.
1. come in on Monday and need to solve some stupid problem with a stupid regex
2. Ask a question about negative lookbehind or negative lookahead regex syntax in python and why it doesn't match the text you thought it should, because.... it's Monday.
3. Have people virtually spit-take all over you and heap their scorn for a n-millionth duplicate regex question.
Enjoy!
It’s because that reputation is flat out wrong. If you went onto Stack Overflow and went around insulting people, you’d get downvoted quickly until you didn’t have enough karma to post.
