I'm not sure why you're bringing up efficiency, I'm not talking about that. If I don't understand a topic, I can't do things with the topic. I use Regexes, so I must at least somewhat understand Regexes.

I’m saying if you look at my code, and I write a lot of negative lookups in dev ops for data validation, you can’t read my code. It’s nothing personal.

Well, earlier you were saying that I don't know Regexes if I don't know reverse negative lookups. Funnily enough Regex101 would help me understand your code in this case, so you were wrong on that count too.
