How often do you write bash scripts or do you always write all automation in some other language? Just curious how much your conviction influences your behavior

I write code without static types all the time. Daily probably. I am "pro types" in a hand wavy way. My conviction is to no longer engaging in the debate.
I'm glad to see that you've replaced debating type systems with debating debating type systems. I'm sure it's a great productivity improvement ;-P
It's not like I've barred myself from engaging in any discussion where the word "type" shows up
Speaking for myself, I never write bash scripts if I can help it (though sometimes I can't help it). That isn't so much because of typing, though... it's because bash is a fucking horrible language that should have died 30 years ago. The fact that there's no such thing as types in bash is just one of many reasons why it sucks to use.
