Good on Anthropic for giving an update & token refund, given the recent rumors of an inexplicable drop in quality. I applaud the transparency.

You should not be using Python types without a type checker in use to enforce them.

With a type checker on, types are fantastic for catching missed cases early.

For languages that don't give you a choice of signed vs. unsigned - giving you signed and sometimes arbitrary-precision integers - this debate is irrelevant.

I'll put it in my same mental bucket of "things that I no longer worry about", along with buffer overflows, wild pointers, etc that are eliminated by memory-safe languages.
