The author started programming in 2002 it seems[1]. But probably takes time for things to proliferate. I’m sure you could also see the appeal for a kid trying to test their abilities to have fewer guardrails. But yea I also don’t know why you’re responding so strongly. He basically admitted he didn’t have a strong opinion for either side, and was mostly musing on a vibe that seems to have moved on. He’s mostly developing in rust these days, so I’m sure he knows the value in good typing. Lastly, anecdotally, I’d agree with his observation about trusting programmers less. There is definitely a safety-ism culture. Probably from massive professionalization of the web dev space.
