## Instructions:

To further develop your skills with advanced regular expressions, your task is to create a function that extracts all hashtags from a social media post.

A **hashtag** is any word that starts with the `#` character, followed by one or more alphanumeric characters or underscores, and is not immediately preceded by another word character.

Your function should:

- Handle hashtags at the beginning or end of the text;
- Correctly extract hashtags surrounded by punctuation or whitespace;
- Return all hashtags exactly as they appear in the text, including the `#` symbol.

**Example:**

Given the input:

```python
"Excited for the #Python3_12 release! #coding #AI #100DaysOfCode"
```

you should return:

```python
['#Python3_12', '#coding', '#AI', '#100DaysOfCode']
```

Use regular expressions to solve this challenge and pay special attention to edge cases.
