Got it, that makes sense. It also makes sense why I've not much been bothered by it in python since my relative small code bases don't have that many layers of abstraction laid on top of each other. I'm generally not working with more than 2,000-3,000 lines, and I can just about keep the basic structure in my head. (Unless it's been a while since I've had to revisit it... then I often hate my past self for getting "clever" in some way)

For these small code bases, static typing is still great (if you are used to it already) but the adverse effects of not having it usually show much stronger with a team (and not a single person). And yeah, if you keep the structure in your head, then you are good anyways.
