What about linters, static analysis, code highlighting, IDEs? Should we skip those too? Should I dig out my "made with notepad" badge?

Types and good static analysis tools allow me to focus on more important things, such as business logic, scale, planning. We don't pay developers for mental gymnastics, but solving real world problems.

Of course we do that, and I looked at Flow a few times.

But typing errors are such a minor thing in comparison to everything else, than "everything else" is of much higher on the priority list
