New blog post / newsletter -- the one about static typing that I've been fighting with:
TL;DR:
* Static typing has value, but we overrate it because it so easy to see how it works in simple code
* In more complex code you need more powerful data validation anyway
* There's a cost to having to lock your code to types early
A quick reminder that Programming Ruby 3.3 — the Pickaxe Book is available
As an ebook: https://pragprog.com/titles/ruby5/programming-ruby-3-3-5th-edition/
From Amazon: https://amzn.to/3WESr4l
From Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/p/books/programming-ruby-3-2-the-pragmatic-programmers-guide-dave-thomas/19924522?ean=9781680509823
If you've already purchased the book and you want to help it get more reach, the best thing you can do is rate or review it at Amazon.
Thanks!

I guess the most rant-like one won out in the end. I wonder if the three Better Knows split the vote…
