So I started reading this again because one of my Shortcuts failed because of poor Regex, and I'm sick of not understanding what's going on easily.
What's interesting is that it's making much more sense on this attempt (I started over), due to me having had some experience with Regex in the interim. Perhaps that indicates poor writing for beginners, or perhaps I'm more motivated this time. I think it's some of each

Read to the Perl chapter. Maybe I’ll finish it (or reread it) if I ever learn Perl.

This book is so challenging and different. And it’s the *book,* not regex. Sure, regex isn’t easy, but this book seems to make it much harder. Maybe it’s because it was written primarily for programmers, Perl programmers in particular, but this whole book has been a giant struggle, requiring me to figure out a lot of things from insufficient explanation.

Very boring and difficult, but it has all the info.
