Ah yes, the age-old tale of Regex: the #mystical, misunderstood #ogre of the #coding world 🤖. The article bravely ignores 90% of its complexity, claiming if you squint just right, it's actually a friendly #garden #gnome 🧙‍♂️. Just remember, if your regular code takes days and your #regex takes minutes, maybe it's time to 🛠️ refine those coding #skills.

timkellogg.meRegex Isn't Hard
Replied in thread

@adam I've worked with over 200 undergrads and graduates in the last 4 years and I can say that most of them (75%) don't have critical thinking skills IE. Ability to think for themselves.

The program I've created tests their critical thinking skills and it is clear that high school and university do not develop this in their curriculum.

I have to get them to unlearn so that they can start to develop these skills.

After I started my first #IT job (and created my Digital Ocean VPS at that time) I decided to create kind of character card for myself, like in #RPG, for writing down my #sysadmin skill levels and progress. I did it in Postgres, probably because database container was one of first things I had on my VPS then.

I created slightly complex system of arbitrary skill and knowledge points, trying hard to not overestimate my skill levels. Like in standard games there are bigger gaps between higher levels and separate "overall sysadmin level" with own points, indirectly dependent on skills' levels' upgrades (and more directly on other kind of knowledge points). Many things are highly relative here as it is not possible to accurately describe own degree of knowledge in numbers. Also some kind of skills could have more "levels" (e.g. familiarity with more complex software learned gradually with time) than others. I have point scale for 10 levels now. And I am almost sure I wouldn't reach higher than 6-7 "overall sysadmin level" in my lifetime :blobcatsweat:

I didn't update it since October 2023. Today I log in and tried to clean that mess. I feel I should make short paper notes about my progress frequently, like I was doing in previous job. Updates would be easier...
