alt Hacker NewsI've managed to go my whole career using regex and never fully grokking it, and now I finally feel free to never learn!
I've also wanted to play with C and Raylib for a long time and now I'm confident in coding by hand and struggling with it, I just use LLMs as a backstop for when I get frustrated, like a TA during lab hours.

Same there is a few things I never learned and don't care to learn and ultimately it has no greater value to learn.
Like do I really get anything out of learning another framework or how some particular library does something?

Sorry to hear that, nobody ever told me either. Had you invested a bit of time earlier in your career, it would have paid dividends 100x fold. The key is knowing what’s wheat and what’s chaff. Regex is a wheat.
With that said, maybe you tried.. everyone has their limits.
