> Author seems to have over 25 years of experience. That doesn't mean much. The author has been a researcher, and then moved into management, now working on a relatively simple e-commerce project with one of the most hilarious mission statements I've ever read. It's the kind of guy that makes me _shudder_ when he shows up in a workplace - because I already know I'm going to have to clean up after them. His dismissal of the documentation value of type systems really tells you how much experience he _actually_ has - my comeback to static typing, as is for nearly every programmer I know, specifically because of how reliable things like "look up the source/documentation/whatever" can be in statically typed code. Not everyone cares, and that's fine, but such a dismissal tells me he's very sheltered, and vastly overestimates the real complexity of his own projext. Also apparently he worked on AspectJ, which to me tells me everything I need to know, and also probably explains why he hates the JVM even more than I do.
