It only depends on programmer. Somebody copy-paste from SO to production, somebody write tests and run them before deployment. There is a lot of dynamic ("forgiving") languages, so JS is not unique here.

This is not about pushing code to production. I don't deny that problem exists in Java. This is about the quality of libraries and frameworks.

I've seen people change Java code in production to fix a bug and recompile it.

This is hardly a behavior that exists only in dynamic languages.

That's a different issue entirely. The article is talking about the quality of frameworks and libraries in JS.

Perhaps, but I was replying to the parent comment, which did talk about dynamic languages and copy paste code to production.
