Static analysis won't save you from all of them, but they will definitely save you from the great majority of the ones ProgrammerHumor seems to get worked up about.

I still see people sharing ancient memes about pouring over code for hours looking for mismatched curly braces, missing semicolons, and greek question marks. These and the bulk of minor syntax problems like them should all be complete non-issues with modern tooling.
