Agreed. I did this journey twice. It was all static types when I was in high school and early college. Then I thought I was too smart to need the computer to do all that type checking for me ("I know what my program does, I don't need a compiler's help!") later in college and early in my career. Then I got incredibly sick and tired of working on really big projects in dynamic languages lacking the ergonomics of good static analysis.
