Groundbreaking research into large language models from OpenAI, Google, Amazon, and others has transformed expectations for machine-generated software. But how do these AI helpers compare to regular expressions, a workhorse technology developers use to describe, find, and manipulate patterns in text?
Regular Expression Puzzles and AI Coding Assistants is the story of two competitors. On one side is David Mertz, an expert programmer and author of the most popular Regex tutorial on the Web. On the other hand, there are the powerful AI coding helpers, GitHub Copilot and OpenAI ChatGPT.
The author presents 24 challenging regular expression puzzles, their traditional human-made solutions, and the fascinating answers given by popular AI helpers. Along with these insightful puzzles, he’ll learn how to write prompts, integrate AI-generated coding hints, and interact with the assistant to get the results he wants.
“To take meaningful steps towards augmented intelligence, we will need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of both humans and machines. This is where David’s book comes in.”
— Koo Ping Shung, data science expert
David Mertz’s book is the perfect starting point for programmers of any experience level who want to understand the capabilities and limitations of exciting new AI coding tools.
Regular expression puzzles and AI coding assistants are available at his publisher Manning and of Amazon.
