I started using types with Python in 2018-ish, and I never looked back.

I am not that good a programmer, so maybe I am wrong, but I just like being able to tell what the data is that's moving through the system. Typed function signatures, a little shift+k here and there, a warning that I am trying to add int and a string. I don't see what's the harm in having that?

At the end of the day, if you don't want to use Python with types -- do not. Unless somebody at work is forcing you, and it feels like putting lipstick on a pig (especially with something like numpy that doesn't easily support types)? Then condolences.
