To me, keeping the linter and the type checker happy is almost as important as actually writing good code.

If you don't know how to use the tools, you're missing out on time savings and error prevention, and once you write code that the linter doesn't like, you can't make it compatible without significant manual work.

I almost think Python would be better with mandatory types....
