lol I was just sitting here thinking I miss my Python job and not having trouble with IntelliJ detecting changes in dependencies and how frustrating it is to invalidate caches and reindex the whole project multiple times before I can run tests for the dependency change. I regularly miss the testing libraries we used, too -- it was so absurdly clean and easy to build robust mocks in our DJango stack (and I set up that tooling, largely on my own iniatiative, based on my team's feedback, so it's not like I'm just like wishing other people had already done the work). Now I work with a bunch of Java devs who use to work for Amazon and somehow use that as an excuse for not caring about tests, our ci-cd tools, and all these other things I'd gotten use to thinking of as standard in my past life as a Python dev.

Code style! Hah. First day on the job I asked about that and was told nobody cared and everybody had their own preferences.

... I'm very bitter today. I'm working on it.

This sounds more like a people problem than a language problem to me.
