I'm not going to repeat myself, I already told you.
I find mypy slow, unsatisfying, inconsistent, and it fails to catch many type errors. No, I'm not going to go look in my work laptop to give you an example.

In most places it is way worse, and I'll find it very hard to find common ground with anyone who disagrees on this.
Feel free to disagree, but I don't find this conversation useful.
