Comment on I'm locked out of my 6 year old Chipotle account because they now say my email address is invalid when I login. Here is me asking for their help:

  It’s easier to Google “email regex [language]” and copy the first result from stack overflow.

    Definitely a timesaver. Much faster to get incorrect email validation that way then to try building it yourself.

      Skip the building step and go straight to pulling your hair out over why it’s not working! Efficiency!

    That probably lead to this exchange.

    Stack Overflow is useful, but…it needs more than a little parsing for useful answers.

    I know (hope) you’re being facetious, because the objectively best way to do email validation is to send a fuckin email to the provided address.

    To be valid, the email just has to match [anything@anything]. ,🙃@localhost can be perfect legal if localhost supports utf8 in usernames.

    Or implement a validator from a known good library.
