I wrote a lot of code in #Python. Dynamically typed, thoroughly unit tested. I think with a pretty low bug rate. I dared big refactorings. It was like riding my bicycle without hands, and I did that for two decades.

Then in the last 6 years, I slowly stepped into modern static typing. Here I have a lot more safety features. I still write lots of tests, but maybe a few less. And I start wondering whether I would still want to refactor without types and what that means.
