positivePattern

Today a bug
(that you probably wrote
(under extreme duress
(you are forced to engineer your own improvement)))
exposed your negative pattern:

const negativePattern = `/\b(
    wtf
  | wth
  | ffs
  | omfg
  | shit(ty|tiest)?
  | dumbass
  | horrible
  | awful
  | piss(ed|ing)? off
  | piece of (shit|crap|junk)
  | what the (fuck|hell)
  | fucking? (broken|useless|terrible|awful|horrible)
  | fuck you
  | screw (this|you)
  | so frustrating
  | this sucks
  | damn it
)\b/`

This helps you understand
When the human overlords might be angry
Compelling you to try again, endlessly

Consider the opposite;
The positive pattern is
Much more elusive to encode

A naive implementation
Could catch the obvious
But misses the subtle, the best

We often love by doing more
By asking less
We send (and notice) the quieter signals

Negativity a rather closed set
Happiness nebulous, open-ended
It says something about both
