    When I worked on OpenStack for a few years, 80% of the bugs I fixed were type errors that could have been prevented by Python being staticly typed.

      Yeah strong disagree with this meme. 15 years into my career and everything gets a data type.

      The only engineers I know who still don’t like strong types are engineers who haven’t lost a weekend due to a stupid type issue. Once you have one or a few of those, you start to like types again.
