I'll go first,

My weakest backend skill is SQL!

I really suck when doing long queries... let alone tuning these queries 🤮

Especially with ORMs, things gets UGLY pretty fast

Screenshot for a query I wrote, and I'll never touch in future:

Oh... this one a REAL pain.

BTW, there is a simplified (more human) library for regex (most langs supported):

If I am a PHP/Python developer then what to do? 🤔

Libs saves you time and work.But If you don't know the basics then libs won't help you.

IMO in case of regex, to use a regex lib, your app must be regex intensive. But If you know regex you can make some really powerful regex without any lib.

🤞🤞
