Dynamic Clarity: The Crutch of Static Typing

Working solo often leads to a preference for dynamic languages, as collaboration typically highlights the need for good design and documentation over static typing. Static typing can sometimes mask poor design, allowing developers to neglect proper documentation and intuitive naming conventions.

This suggests that effective code practices are more crucial than the typing paradigm itself, emphasizing that clarity and understanding in code should take precedence over reliance on static types.
