The types on stitty-documented code often do depend on the types actually being checked though. Otherwise you need to author to be diligent in their types, but if they're bad in their other docs, that seems unlikely.
- kixiQu 5y agoSome people are willing to be meticulous about references even when they're Less Good Than One Might Wish at picking names or explaining things.

Knowing that off the bat is quite helpful. And it also tells something about the code quality if it is a common occurrence.
