What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Are you using type annotations and mypy? I strongly suggest them. Type systems are a great way to catch typos and errors!

Thanks, this doesn't fix all the problems I have, but should make maintaing Python significantly easier.

You got it!

I love Python, it's probably my favourite language, but I'll be the first to admit that its fast-and-loose style can make certain kinds of errors easier to make and harder to notice/fix. Glad this can help a little!
