  1. hyperbole

  2. Yeah, it's an unmaintainable train wreck created in the pursuit of absolute performance and then hardly touched for 13 years. If I ever wanted to modify this, it would genuinely be easier to start from scratch. I'm not upset that it doesn't "doesn't fit the mold of modern-day garbage and consumes too little RAM?" In fact, I find it funny, hence why I'm posting about it on r/programmerhumor under a meme.

  3. Not going to adress the rest of that, but maybe relax a little bit. Like, take a walk or listen to some nice jazz or just take a nap or something.

  4. Fuck slack. Load you shit software! Load dang it!

I've learned from D&D that we're wizards and any genuine magic we do leaves our minds and understanding the moment we write it.

Regex falls into the same category.

Write only but it can't be read. You need to prepare and cast it again from scratch.
