Yeah, each have their benefits. I run all my go projects through golangci-lint which is required for merge to master/main, so not checking the error value would not have made it to prod. I suppose there are probably similar checkers for Python that would have caught the passing of a scalar value instead of a function. Perhaps this is an argument for mandatory linting in CI.
