I became less of a dilbert fan over the years, but one cartoon stuck out to me. The new manager came in and was centralizing everything that was decentralized and decentralizing everything that was centralized. (The side comment was that "... the man is a management genius!")
This principle seems true in so many things where there is not a perfect answer. Maybe we'll start typing everything in python (and every other scripted language) to compensate for some small uncertainty that lets subtle bugs through ... but at some point, that will become such a pain that we'll swing back to not typing things for the freedom and flexibility?
Being able to mix both approaches in the same code is probably not the best of both worlds.
In the meantime, I suppose ll will just hang out with the type freedom and flexibility group until I have a good reason not to.
