This video freaking BLEW MY MIND. You can use copilot to *ask* what a regex in your codebase does. It'll even give you test cases 🤯 @code piped.video/shorts/dTAZui3k4…

Can you go the other way round?
Yep! It'll write regexes for you. See the vid for a 1 minute demo

What’s GitHub CoPilot gonna do next?

I am damn sure this regex can be simplified by 99% less characters

Regex isn't the best application of AI-based code gen, but we verified it works on Codeium as well! (1x speed) beta.codeium.com

Okay at first I was terrified when I saw it but watching the short, holy shit that is cool!

Why is this so special? I agree it’s very _utile_ but does not have much to do with AI per sé. Tools like regex101.com or regexr.com will also tell you this, so this could be solved with local NON-AI tooling too.
