> I don't think we have that same effect in software but I think there is an related one: when you don't have the protection of a static type system, you may become more careful. You could use that reasoning to argue we should be writing in assembly. I want all the automated checks I can get to get as close to bug free as possible. If you have to be careful about everything, you're going to exhaust yourself and miss even more bugs. It's much better when bugs are limited to smaller areas and you know where to be extra careful.
