user259867

A question to ponder: is SE (as we know it) closer to the end of its life than to beginning?

@MiceElf Oh god too deep, too early for these kinds of things

But I don't think so

It's the nature of a company to grow, and with the ubiquity of SO in the developer community, it'll stay relevant

user259867

It's late and dark here. And I'm just over 59% of life expectancy (for Russian men) myself, so I wondered if SE at a similar point.

The second one is more readable.

I don't get why it wants to match the whole string, rather than any substring.

Maybe there's another method that works better? Python's match is only from the beginning of string, but there is search.
