    or people used to work alone never having to go back to their code (e. g. bad consultancy jobs)

      Even alone I find it indespensible. I find it’s mainly useful for writing code correctly the first time around.

        Some people think better with typing information explicitly written out. Some people don’t. In my opinion it is a creativity thing. Some people like to make art that is photo realistic, some people like to make abstract art.

        I understand both viewpoints. In my free time I vastly prefer late bound, dynamically types languages with robust reflection engineers built into their interpreters. For work, I heavily prefer late bound, strictly typed with reflection optional or minimal.

        Different people think differently.
