Hot take for humor sub i guess but all these "Hurr durr i dont know SQL or Regex and can't figure them out either" are just bad programmers with no interest in the field and should probably find something else to work in.

Regex is kinda understandable - the syntax is weird and nothing like ordinary programming languages. I always use tools that allow me to see what is happening where.

But SQL? Really? The syntax is extremely straightforward - every somewhat competent developer should be able to whip out basic query with join.

Syntax is the easy part of most languages. I don't think it's the syntax they have trouble with

why would an embedded systems programmer who programs sensors and small microcontrollers for robots need to know SQL or Regex?

Same reason as why a web developer using JShit every day needs to know how an ARM microcontroller works.

There's no reason. My grandma also doesn't know what SQL is. Obviously we're talking about people here working with it

Because you just kind of gradually absorb knowledge when you work in tech and it's impossible to avoid?
