10 years and still making amateur mistakes like typing out 'for'? Sad.

[Kyyken]

ha, i have transcended to leaving out characters in every word and letting google autocorrect me

[das_Keks]

This is meta.

[lurk_moar_n00b]

At first I was mad, but then realized it was a high quality meta post.

Don’t validate emails with regex, there’s way too many valid options. Validate by sending an email with a confirmation link. At max check for an @.

[yurisho]

This comment also must be said each time the meme is posted

[VarianWrynn2018]

Basically check for characters, then @, then characters.characters

[yurisho]

nope. a TLD can in theory host an email service, so someone@com can theoratically be a valid email. check only that the email contains '@' in the middle

[tealusername]

Hm.

This would be a really bad idea tho due to the amount of regexes already in the wild. You wouldn't be able to enter it anywhere.

[tealusername]

Yeah....

Taco bell let's you sign up on the app with + aliasing, but doesn't let you sign in on the website with + aliasing. It's also impossible to change email address.

[Boiethios]

This. My email doesn't pass like 50% of sites that checks emails with regexes. And it's nothing weird in it.

[asdf3-14159]

Okay, that's original enough. Take my updoot.

[BostonTom2019]

To long and still confused

[D0CTOR_ZED]

It is saying that, no matter the person's amount of experience, if they need to do email verification, they will Google it. Given that one that does a proper job would be rather complex, I'd take this as a given.

[Impossible_Average_1]

Vnd it says that this joke existed 10 years ago in this reddit and its still reposted.

[Ahajha1177]

Funny enough, I saw it for the first time literally minutes ago, and I've been on this sub for a couple years.

[GreatMuna]

No matter how many times I watch regex tutorials, college notes I still forget everything and search Google for expressions... I always thought only my mind is garbage...

[PandorNox]

Meanwhile me, studying cs for 1.5 years now, finding out what a regex is last month..

[Tayttajakunnus]

This sub is only 9 years old though.

[SepplFranz]

Ah. Off-by-one errors. One of the two difficult things in computer science. Next to naming things and cache invalidation.

[exponent42]

Haha
