If most business-side people actually knew what weak typed languages meant for their company, I can't imagine so many of them going for php/js as often as they do. You're always one expression with a `$contact` instead of a `$contract` in it away from a cancelled weekend trip or humiliating sales demo.

If the business side is making these kinds of technology choices, the business itself and the engineering side both have significantly worse and more important problems. And those problems will inevitably create those cancelled weekends.

Honestly, I think there’s an equivalency there. Someone who is an expert in JavaScript means a couple of years. You can hire a high-end JS Dev for a lot cheaper than you could any other language or platform.
