 From the article:

"Most importantly, the kinds of bugs that people introduce most often aren’t the 
kind of bugs that unit tests catch. With few exceptions (such as parsers), unit 
tests are a waste of time."

Not my experience with unittests, repeated over decades and with different 
languages. Unit tests are a huge win, even with statically typed languages.
