> but that's good too, else we would not have jobs. Given how mediocre the average software out there is, I'd much much rather have an industry focus on actual engineering. Its a lot more profitable to find new problems to solve rather than continuously fix your own mess. I used to write very well documented statically typed code, and then watching people without domain knowledge butcher the hell out of it after I left. At the end of the day knowing what you're doing is priceless. Just like having guard rails is no excuse to not learn how to drive. Alls I'm saying is that types are very overrated when it comes to actual robustness and correctness. You can get it without types and you can miss it with types.
