I’ve written more tests than just about anybody. Spent years comparing dynamic and static type systems. My life's work is to maximize correctness and minimize maintenance.

All it's taught me: the single most important thing programmers can do to improve their code is to minimize branching (e.g. `if` statements). Code that executes the same set of instructions every time behaves the same way every time.
