I have a different take on this reply: I kinda agree with it. One of the amazing things about types and purity is that stupid people like me can be more effective while programming, and that's fine unless you think programming is something only rare brilliant people should pursue

Apparently, I've been using Haskell for the last 7 years because I'm mediocre and can't pay attention 😅

Yeah. My executive function issues often cause me to rush and not pay attention as well… which is just a human thing in general. I need tools to help me. Accessibility aids help everyone.

It's also like saying we shouldn't design safety systems in planes, nuclear reactors, or industrial settings, because mistakes are just ‘engineers rushing and not paying attention’. These are common human failings and it’s important to design with that in mind.
