My last job (2019 - 2022) was in part shepherding a 2013-era Python 2 Tornado-and-Motor (yes the async implementation of the MongoDB driver for Python) application into Python 3 and such modern niceties.

Just remembering those induces psychic damage; implementing async as a massive hack on top of the language is impressive but also the kind of thing we're going to whisper to junior engineers as scary campfire stories for DECADES.
