    Not really, it's more of an anti-typed languages and anti-build steps comment. Also, you have to question the programming skill of anyone who writes this: Compiler warnings make it hard to test code quickly using console.log(...); I'm more reliant on clunky debuggers which slows me down a lot and breaks my train of thought. In my experience, inexperienced or bad programmers litter their code with log statements because they can't understand error messages or are incapable of 'running' the code in their head.
