I'll go first,

My weakest backend skill is SQL!

I really suck when doing long queries... let alone tuning these queries ๐Ÿคฎ

Especially with ORMs, things gets UGLY pretty fast

Screenshot for a query I wrote, and I'll never touch in future:

Oh... this one a REAL pain.

BTW, there is a simplified (more human) library for regex (most langs supported):

If I am a PHP/Python developer then what to do? ๐Ÿค”

Libs saves you time and work.But If you don't know the basics then libs won't help you.

IMO in case of regex, to use a regex lib, your app must be regex intensive. But If you know regex you can make some really powerful regex without any lib.
