> Static Typing reduces bugs. At least to me, the big advantage of static typing is not that it (allegedly) reduces bugs, but that it aids my understanding and helps in navigating the program. It's a tool for thinking and communicating.

LOL, this hits close to home. My company had a modeling specific VM set up to run our predictive modeling pipelines. Typical pipeline is about 50,000 to 5 million rows of training data. At best, using an expensive VM, we mana…
Hype: Cold showers are good for you (good stress) Shower: keybored, your shower is not cold enough to induce stress and you are too lazy to modify the showering experience in any way Caveats: Other people may be anti-lazy enough to modify the showering experience Notes: Check yourself
Most Times I can't bring myself to get into a cold shower. If I start warm I can cool down from there. Is there a way to start cold and go even colder?

I used to debate this but after learning Rust it’s undeniable.
I thought I wanted static typing until I started writing clojure.

I found the same thing when doing video transcoding. The VPSs were all woefully underpowered. Netcup bare metal (root servers) ended up getting pretty close and were by far the best bang for the buck of anything I found.

I remember working 2012 on a SaaS app, and I wasn't the only guy anymore doing frontend stuff with JS. I knew my objects, but my colleagues did not. How to you document object APIs? TypeScript really shines in large projects with lots of devs.
> "Static Typing reduces bugs." I would argue that static typing reduces bug complexity/creep. Mainly from working in environments without proper testing during the js days, TS was rough at first, but did help.

To understand your whole program all the time at scale is probably something Rich Hickey is capable of but I definitely am not.

That said, I certainly agree it comes up less than it does in, say, JavaScript

Edit: This is also the time of year to do this, while the tap water is probably warmer and your house is warmer. I wouldn't try to acclimate in winter.
