> Before type hinting tools for Python became popular, I worked on many projects where `TypeError` was the #1 exception in Sentry by a large margin.

My experience is radically different. `ValueError` is far more common in my un-annotated Python, and the most common cause of `TypeError` anyway is the wrong order or number of arguments after a refactoring.

Hhmm I could be misremembering if it was `ValueError` or `TypeError`. This was a few years ago. I know that typing issues were always the most frequent in any Python project I have worked on.

How is your experience different?
