Avoid things like generics. Keep your types as primitive as possible. Strong typing will covert an excellent developer into an amazing developer but won’t do anything for extremely bad developers. Data types are not a solution to people problems.

Agree, but the question for me is whether it is clear that it’s better at organizational scale over decades. I think it is, but not hugely so.

Edit: I should add that I think there are a ton of things that are far more important for a high performing dev team than types.
