No. I'm saying I tried both ways and I know advantages and disadvantages and I'm capable of deciding by myself.

You on the other hand did not try both but feign expertise.

Yes everybody knows what a cargo cult is. It's not some sort of intellectual remark. More of a random thing to say on the internet when you have no real arguments.

But good to know you can find sources… when they happen to exist :)

No offense, but it's like a textbook on awful debates.

Your best arguments are: "big guys are doing it therefore it's good for me too" (argument from authority) and "I tried both and decided only one is good" (argument from authority/anecdotal evidence). Plus a ton of ad hominems.

To be fair, your opponent isn't very different.

Awful debate indeed.

I asked for sources and got a 404 link as a response.

I'm told that I earn less money, hence I'm not as good (despite the other person having no idea of how much i earn).

> To be fair, your opponent isn't very different.

And yet, you felt the need to respond to me…

You literally told me that you are a cargo cultist and your words should not to be listened to in your previous comment.

No one who has really tried both would conclude that static typing is better hence I know you are lying. :p

I did no such thing. But after hours of you writing lies, I'm not surprised you wrote another one.

In 10-15 years, when you will actually have some non-made-up programming experience, you will agree with me :)

I don't remember writing any lies. Additionally, we can just read what you read several comments ago. So what do you think you are playing at?

Nah, I'm more qualified than you. You just don't want to hear that you are wrong.
