For me it was the opposite. I started out with dynamically typed, then switched to statically typed for many years, then I realized that types were almost worthless (and even harmful in some cases in terms of how they influence design/architecture) and I switched back to dynamically typed and never looked back. Nothing beats good testing and good architecture design.
