Recently, I spent around 3 hours building a regex to check if a string is a valid date... Usually this shouldn't take more than 30 minutes, but the environment in which it was to run used some form of incomplete postgres with basically no documentation, so it was a long trial-and-error process of figuring out what to do. Now, equipped with this knowledge, it would potentially be great for me to be able to document my process, so that others won't have the same problem, but a) I already wasted way too much time on this and b) there is no good place to document it. The best thing I could think of would be a medium blog post, which is a band-aid.

All that said, I feel like documentation is getting better in newer technologies.
