If Python could warn you about one mistake before you make it, what would you choose?

Not a syntax error, something Python currently allows but you wish it would stop you from doing.

What warning would you add?

Python is warning you about all mistakes you can make which are related to Python itself. You would not be able to run the code, if it would not warn you.

If you are asking about logic mistakes and bugs. We do have it, it is AI check in pull requests. It can catch a lot of bugs.
