I think his whole point is that it isn't sufficient to have some code compiling: "If it's not tested, it's broken." And using the compiler for bug hunting is actually giving you a wrong feeling of safety since those "tests" cover only a part of possible sources of errors.

Read the whole thing, top to bottom. Just one question. Why does he totally ignore the subject of generic programming, type computing, template metaprogramming, concept checking, traits, policies, and all of the other compile-time features of C++ which could be viewed as a form of weak typing? The STL even uses the notion of concepts: anything that meets the requirements for a particular concept can be used in a sequence, algorithm, iterator, view, whatever.

Now the case for incorrect linkage.  Would you rather have an link
error
occur at compile-time while you're developing the application or at
run-time perhaps after your application is in the field or has already
shipped?
