Readit NewsThat, and we also don't only focus on the textual description of a problem when we encounter a problem. We don't see the debugger output and go "how do I make this bad output go away?!?". Oh, I am getting an authentication error. Well, meaybe I should just delete the token check for that code path...problem solved?!
No. Problem very much not-solved. In fact, problem very much very bigger big problem now, and [Grug][1] find himself reaching for club again.
Software engineers are able to step back, think about the whole thing, and determine the root cause of a problem. I am getting an auth error...ok, what happens when the token is verified...oh, look, the problem is not the authentication at all...in fact there is no error! The test was simply bad and tried to call a higher privilege function as a lower privilege user. So, test needs to be fixed. And also, even though it isn't per-se an error, the response for that function should maybe differentiate between "401 because you didn't authenticate" and "401 because your privileges are too low".
Kind of hyperbolic. If you prompt well, generally, it won't do stupid to that extreme.
Thorough tests of the behavior of your system (which should be done whether the language is dynamic or not) catch the vast, vast majority of type errors. "More runtime errors" in a well designed codebase don't mean errors for the user - it means tests catch them
Seriously.. the secret to writing great dynamic code is getting very good at testing

I don't understand this at all.
Covid was devastating for the whole world. I don't see how it is an "easy layup" for anybody or any country. Was there any country or scenario where it was an "easy layup"?
Sure, there might be people out there selling snakeoil, but that's the case for every domain. Does that mean we nobody should try to make apps to solve domain problems at all? Of course not.
So you're asking everyone to stop monetizing ADHD. So the two alternatives are make the apps for free or don't make them at all. The former is not realistic or sustainable and later gives up potential upside.
I mean, do you think all ADHD apps will just be bad and are just people trying rip off ADHDers?
I think a more reasonable premise is yes, just in every domain, there will be snake oil sellers unfortunately and it's up to the consumer to watch out for those. But there will also be genuine people who are trying to solve this problem and that will potentially give people a lot of value for the money they pay for it.
