Type errors are super easy to get and a massive problem. Especially when you use libraries like Pandas/Numpy which will return different types for the same function depending upon the context.

python was the first language I learned and most of what I code and I never understood this deep fear of type errors, it's pretty rarely an issue in practice

ah, I don't use those libraries Also my stack surrounds a dynamodb instance and I do use marshmallow to enforce types going in and out of there so I have a source of type reliability in the middle of the app that I benefit from

Right. Which supports the OP. In a dynamically typed language like Python, you need to do so much more effort in production quality software than in a statically typed language. Which eliminates any advantage to dynamic typing in real projects.

It's better to actually take some time to understand what they are talking about rather than just dismissing us because you personally have not been affected.
