I wasn't replying to the root comment, I was replying in the context of the subsequent three comments, specifically:

> > > Crazy that actually using your type system leads to better code.

> > There's a name for this anti-pattern: "Stringly typed"

> I don't think a reasonable person would consider storing a username in a string to be "stringly typed".

#1 was saying that the root comment shows better code using the type system.

#2 was clearly referring to the case where you don't do this as being an anti-pattern.

#3 is saying that storing a username in a string, without wrapping defining a distinct type for it, was not stringly typed. But as I pointed out, it certainly is.

If you doubt my interpretation of #3, the same commenter said this in another comment: "Is it really more 'programmer friendly' to create wrapper types for individual strings all over your codebase?"

I see, my apologies!
