The issue isn't that regex are a solution to find a substring. The issue is that you shouldn't be looking for substrings in the first place.

This has buttbuttin energy. Welcome to the 80s I guess.

Why? They clearly just want to log conversations that are likely to display extreme user frustration with minimal overhead. They could do a full-blown NLP-driven sentiment analysis on every prompt but I reckon it would not be as cost-effective as this.

Very likely vibe coded.

I've seen Claude Code went with a regex approach for a similar sentiment-related task.

		My understanding of vibe coding is when someone doesn’t look at the code and just uses prompts until the app “looks and acts” correct. I doubt you are making regex and not looking at it, even if it was AI generated.
