I think part of the problem is that many people who are used to static type analysis get lazy with naming and interface design. Toss one of them into your team and they'll "prove" the need for static type analysis.

Possibly. IME it’s quick Python POCs that didn’t bother with good practices that turn into critical production services without anybody going back and applying good coding standards.

That's a theme, for sure. "We don't have enough time to refactor!" is generally less true than "We need to slow down to go faster."
