Yeah, I do have to remind myself every so often that even though I might feel uncomfortable with the way other departments work, they do get the job done and know their problem space better than I do, so chances are they're using the right tool for the job. Or rather they're in the right field, where their preferred way of working works well.

Static typing isn't about perfectionism, it's about not wanting to debug stupid shit at 3am when production breaks bcause of a type error that could've been caught at compile time.
