Can't be worse than when I was an intern, the product was literally based around parsing arbitrary HTML with regex and not even decent regex, POSIX regex from like the '80s for reasons known only unto the programming gods.
sweet merciful torvalds, that must have sucked.
Glad you made it out of that hellhole.
