Article written like it’s someone that just discovered types even though a majority of the programming world said to use types for decades…

Yeah, how dare the author discover something that they did not know before and get so excited about it that they wanted to write an article about what they learned! That is a completely inappropriate thing to do with a personal blog.

Edit: Finally figured out how to link the image to the original comic. (I needed to embed the image link inside of another link.)

They mention their company numerous times over, sure doesn’t seem like a personal blog. It seems like a company discovering something that has been documented over and over again.
