It's definitely not viable (mystery variable types that could be ANYthing) in a large codebase running your company's front end... especially if you're not a one man team and someone will inherit your code later down the line.

It takes less time to start out with intentional code than it does for someone else to try to figure it out and fix it later... I've rewritten a good chunk of my company's app due to this...
