Most of the code at my current job doesn't even have the optional type annotations. You just see like def something(config). What's config? A dict? A list? A string? Who the fuck knows.

Unfortunately most of the developers seem to have a very pre-modern take on programming and aren't interested in changing anything.

There's a special circle in hell for people who write Python without type annotations.
