Over the years I’ve worked with various programming languages and I can’t recall any instance where I wrote code that contained a type bug that I didn’t instantly catch without the aid of any specialized tooling.

Guess you're just a better programmer. I've run into many in JavaScript and Python.

I don’t think that’s it. Maybe it’s my style of debugging or some such, but while I am a competent developer I wouldn’t attribute this to some kind of brilliance or exceptional way of thinking. I’ve pair programmed enough to know that I do things the conventional way.

About the only thing I can think of is that I still routinely switch to C for Arduino projects so I am cognizant of things needing to be the right type and don’t rely on automatic casting like you get in PHP and JS.
