"You are only an expert in a given technology when you know when not to use it" This is such a great quote. I would also love to know the origin. I'll also bite on the when not to use static typing bit. Not using static typing is a bit of a misnomer because you can use a statically typed language and just use `String` (or `Bytes`, `Object`, `Value` or whatever the equivalent is in your language). The question is more of whether to use one of these catch-all structures or to use a more structured domain-specific type. And the answer here is when you don't need all of the structure, don't want to force the whole thing to validate, etc. For example, maybe you have JSON getting read into some complex customer data structure. If you only need a single field out of the structure, and haven't already parsed it into the customer data structure for some other reason, it might be best to just reach in and grab the field you need. You can think about it kind of as the principle of least context but in a data parsing scenario.
