I don't remember why, but I learned regexes maybe my sophomore year of college because it seemed like such an interesting thing that I might need some day? I also started to learn SQL about the same time. Those feel like herculean efforts so foreign now because I've been using them for so long. One day at my second job out of college, I wrote a quick regex for something, and one of my more senior colleagues looked at me like I was a wizard. It was amazing to be able to get some street cred for that. To me, it validated the effort I went through previously. I'm trying to learn about SAT/SMT solvers now. Not because I have a pressing need for them but because it's a completely foreign thing that - who knows? - maybe I'll be able to put to good use today. The problem with SAT/SMT is that there are nowhere near the clear learning resources compared with, say, regexes. |
