What Debugging Regex Feels Like

Oh. My. GOD. Trying to debug a regex pattern is LITERALLY like being an archaeologist deciphering ancient hieroglyphics with nothing but a magnifying glass and shattered dreams! You're squinting at a wall of mystical symbols like ^(?:([A-Z])(?![A-Z])|[a-z])+$ wondering what ancient deity you offended to deserve this punishment. One wrong character and your entire application implodes into a black hole of despair. And the worst part? When you finally figure it out, you'll have absolutely NO IDEA how you did it! Future you will look at that regex and weep uncontrollably.
