Maybe, maybe not - but in my experience, a dumpster fire with static types is easier to read and understand and also easier to refactor.

That matches my experience as well. I just think we need to be resistant to reading too much into "I've seen bad code that X", because that can easily be true of almost any X.

You think that statically typed languages don’t often turn into dumpster fires? Not my experience! Even though there are real advantages.
