Re:Ask HN: Engineering managers, how do you onboard new hires? by anonzzzies on Monday May 22, 2023 @08:52AM (#36030797)
The reason I don't really want to work with languages that are not statically typed is that my (very well paid) projects almost always start on day #1 with 'here is 300-500k lines of code and a list of crap it doesn't do but should, cheers!'. With C#/Java, but definitely with F#/Haskell, this is not a big issue. With Python, JS, Ruby, indeed, I need callstacking like tools or it will take a lot longer. Usually the original devs already left (often they were never employees, but contractors from big firms who peddled juniors for senior prices).

How does typing help with determining relevant code paths?
