Cats Memes

The most accurate regex tutorial ever created. Step 1: Open your editor. Step 2: Let your cat walk across the keyboard. Congratulations, you've just created a pattern that's equally as comprehensible as one you would have written yourself after 3 hours of trying. The best part? Both will somehow match email addresses from 1997 but fail on anything sent after 2015. Your cat might actually be better at this than you are.

The perfect regex tutorial doesn't exi— Seriously though, the chaotic jumble of special characters in regex patterns might as well be created by a cat walking across your keyboard. That cryptic pattern /^([A-Z0-9_\.-]+) showing up in the second panel? Yep, looks exactly like what happens when my cat decides to "help" with coding. The brutal truth is that most regex patterns look completely indecipherable until you spend hours decoding them. And even then, you're never quite sure if they'll match what you want or suddenly match your entire database and crash your app. Pro tip: Always test your regex on a small sample before unleashing it on production data. Unless, of course, you prefer the chaos of letting your cat write it.

Writing regex is LITERALLY the only time in my life where I've considered summoning demonic entities for help. The meme speaks TRUTH! Step 1: Open your editor with false confidence. Step 2: Let your cat randomly smash keys because let's be honest - that gibberish has a BETTER chance of working than whatever I was about to write! Those bizarre symbols (/^([A-Z0-9_\.-) might as well be ancient hieroglyphics that only the chosen ones can decipher. The rest of us mere mortals just copy-paste from Stack Overflow and PRAY it doesn't summon Cthulhu instead of validating an email address!
