Life can be compared to TypeScript or JavaScript. During exam week, life is fully typed, accepting only arguments from notes and oneself. On holidays, life is on 'type any', being unpredictable and open to different possibilities. Fasting can be seen as a strictly typed type, leaving no room for exceptions. Some people approach life like a strictly typed function, needing every detail pinned down, while others embrace spontaneity and live on 'type any'. Our approach to life reflects our approach to code, as we choose between the safety of defined boundaries or the freedom of spontaneity.
When referring to their approach to life, the author mentions that their preference is JavaScript, indicating a more spontaneous and flexible approach.
