> "Pretty often"? 20 times a day in my case and 45 in case of another guy. If we suppose you code actively 6 hours a day it's like being interrupted 7.5 times a hour. That's "often" when compared to other errors. > "Comparing to what?" To other kinds of compilation errors (I think this point was clear in the article) > "That’s good news" If the compiler doesn't catch errors, most of them will go in production (you're usually not unit-testing all the possible type errors). I'm appealing to common sense here - It would be interesting to see if data confirm this. This is a blog post, not a scientific paper. This is far from complete - it's just meant to be a good starting point. Factchecking everything is stated here would require an entire research team.
