~ you cannot write completely safe, validated frontend software

Stanley loves strong and static typing. He's a big fan of pattern matching, and enums, and discriminated unions, which allow correctness to be verified at compile time. He also has strong opinions on errors, which must be caught, logged and prevented. He uses only ACID-compliant databases, wants foreign keys and triggers to be enforced, and wraps everything in atomic transactions.

Stanley is most likely a back-end or systems-level developer. Because nirvana in front-end development is reached when you understand that this view of software is not just wrong, but fundamentally incompatible with the real world.
