Wait until you see what they do to avoid learning SQL or Regex or JSON Pointer or XPath.

Ugh, i've had to write some Selenium tests where I had to come up with weird ass Xpaths because not a single fucking element had an ID and over half would spawn something in a different div

Wait until you see when they refuse to learn anything but SQL.

Not something I've encountered.

TBF to regex, it's completely unreadable. I love the magic that can be done with it, but by God, it needs syntax highlighting. Something may do this, but I've never seen anything that does.

You get used to it sooner than you'd think. There are libraries to convert between regex and English. Maybe it deserves a Unicode code block like APL?
