(I might be very wrong as I don't have time to check every statement): Actually the theory of static typing appeared _after_ the theory of dynamic typing. So the history seems to be: 1. dynamic types 2. static types Thus you can say so

What you might not want to understand is that we were patient with them long enough. They did this in Georgia and Moldova and Ukraine before. What it shows is that they dont stop. Now they want an entire very big country. So this is the lin

It is good advice to learn SQL. I would suggest enabling the following two configurations in any Rails project. It should be a must in any new Rails project IMO: 1. Enable `config.active_record.strict_loading_by_default` - this will raise A

What is wrong with leaking news about layoffs? Or to ask the reverse: in case of layoffs that are kept secret who is benefiting from secrecy: the users/consumers, the employees, the investors, the founders?

I think in some cases your proposal to not call it technical debt is indeed helpful. But I also think: 1) The term technical debt is here to stay and thus it is helpful to discuss about dealing with this data 2) I worked on multiple project
