"The older I get, the more I appreciate dynamic languages" - Finally, someone said it.

In my earlier years, I used to love C++, Go, Rust and even TypeScript over JavaScript in the worst case. Python and JS were heresy for me.

Now I love Python and JavaScript and I feel they're much better for most use-cases and atleast the first 75%ile of scaling requirements.

Ain't nobody got time for dealing with static types once you're older. With more experience, you begin understanding the shapes/types of all commonly used constructs in dynamic languages anyway.

I've never worked at FAANG so I don't know what I'm missing. But I've hired (and not hired) engineers from FAANGs and they don't know what they're doing either.

Itna bhi sach nahi bolna tha lol
