Depends which is quicker. If I catch a trivial bug on the first run, I just saved myself writing the type system to find it ahead of time.

- Warwolt 1y agoWhen a bug like this can cause real world harm, we can't just bumper car program our way out of things. As engineers we should be able to provide real guarantees.
- rhubarbtree 1y agoI do agree for safety critical systems, you’re right. But I don’t think we are engineers. Software dev isn’t like engineering. You can’t change the structure of a bridge after it has been built by deploying code to prod in a minute. Software dev is just software dev, it’s not engineering or science. It has some parallels with craftsmanship, but it’s unique.
