You're being snarky, which is fine, but the author addresses that. If you're compromised, the attacker is not going to dig through your development folder to inject a regex that makes your build slow. They'll exploit privilege escalation bugs to install a bitcoin miner, ransomware, a DDOS bot node, or use some other vulnerability to grab and/or exploit your secrets. They'll do it the most direct way possible, not via some half-broken regex parser.
