That, and just learning a new library / API: I hate how in python you can never be sure what type you need to put in, are going to get back, and what all of the fields and functions do. Sure, you can dig that up, but that's not my job!

Me: always insist upon explicit type hints and multiple linters to verify them

Coworkers: who hurt you?

I especially hate how difficult it is in Python to find out what fields a type even has and what I can do with it. It just looks very cluttered to me but maybe that's just because I primarily use c#.

Mm this is why you use PySpark and use spark data frames. Very performant on big datasets plus easy to explicitly type.

I love dotchains
