My brother. That's why you do unit tests.

And lint

But are you even a real programmer if you don’t test in production?

I shouldn’t need to do unit tests for quick one off scripts

What kind of quick one off scripts have large complex scopes where variable renames are difficult to track?

Besides, these days Python has great LSPs and typing features that can even surpass the traditional typed langs

Mostly number crunching and data exploration tasks. Just so I can make informed decisions about the data I got. I do this rarely enough so it hasn’t been worth for me to install all these extra third party support wheels.

Those support wheels are for your own (and apparently systematic) errors...
